Rear Tires on Front
I had some extra rear wheels, so I mounted tires on them and put them on the front wheels. However they do not hold the rotors still and this caused interesting noises to happen when I test drove it.
So I've come to the conclusion that rear wheels cannot be put on the front (because of rotors). Now - the question is What if I use open/extended lug nuts? WIll this allow me to use the rear wheels on the front tires? BTW: I know there are screws on the rotor holding it still, but they should not be necessary when the wheel is on... |
I had extra socks so I put them on my hands.

factory s2000 wheels are equiped with hubcentric rings that are different sizes front and rear.
you can fit a front wheel on the rear but not vise versa. and an additional fact: when you get a flat rear tire, you replace it with a front wheel and put the spare on the front. |
hey, you might want to try the race forum
becasue there's guy running ap1 rear on the track already, maybe they run a spacer to bypass the rotor hub or maybe they bore it out on a lathe. it could be done so go ask them :thumbup: |

Okay I will pay the "stupid tax" of 24$ bucks and have my tires swapped around on my rims.
OH well... |
don't pay the Stoopid tax!!
take your rear wheels to a machine shop and have them bore out the center. search on here to find the exact measurement and they should fit just fine? |
Just bring one front and two rears to the machine shop.
The will take a measurement from the front wheel, and use that spec to bore the rears. |
