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...

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

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.
