wheels...which one are front

[1stTurbo]

I have posted a few times and I just bought myTTA the wheel are the stock wheels but the deeper dish wheels are on front and the smaller dish on the back. Which way is correct? I have tried to find this in previous post but no luck?

Thanks!

Its correct the way they are now.

Like Chris said but they are also stamped on the inside of the wheel. I am sure there is a rhyme to there reason but I'm not sure why.

As I understand it, and the experts can correct me where I go wrong, if you put the rears up front they will rub during cornering (the fronts have a zero offset, the rears have a 16mm offset...Grand National wheels have a different offset).

The fronts, however will fit the rear without issue.

Why they didn't put 4 fronts on 'em all around, I have no idea...that's actually what I'd like to do to mine.

They did it for handling....

The rear axle plus the wheel offset is wider than the front....but the wheels track on top of each other......

physics......

Yeah, the engineers may have done this for handling, but they look SUCKY like this. Rears in the front, fronts in the rear look 100% better IMO.




ps. yep, I know its an old thread...lol
