18" wheels up front

[VETTEX2]

I'd like to put the same rims on the front as on the rear.
I have 2 sets of identical factory magnesium rims.
I'd also like to use the same size tire front and rear.
Any suggestions , experiences ?
I assume spacers will be needed due to the different offsets.
Any computer / active handling problems ?

I can say from my own personal experience when I was upgrading from the wagon wheels to the hi polished wheels I put the rears on the front and they rubbed.

DID YOU USE SPACERS ?
This is a must due to the offsets of the wheels.

I would guess the alternative is going with same offset wheels all around with identical widths. Lots of people had problems (including me) with the old IROC camaros wheels for the same reasons- different offset on fronts and rears meant that tires needed to be rotated- not the wheels. Painful process.

Back to the Vette. That would mean you would need (maybe) a 8 inch wide wheel in an 18 inch rim.

You can't use the same offset all the way around unless you use a spacer on the front.
I'm attempting to use the factory mags ( see above )
