Will it fit?
Advantages?
Disadvantages?
Will the hubs need to be modded?

I have 2 sets of ap1s. I was gonna just use oem set up and get some all seasons for the colder months but thought about slapping 4 rears on instead so I can rotate em.

I'm sure this has been asked before but a search turned up nothing but fs and wtb threads.

Thanks for your help

 

just get the wheels bored, should cost around $50 for 2 rears to be bored to fit the front, then you will be all set

 

Need to bore out the hubs for the wheels you'd be putting on the front, other than that there should be no real issues.

For what it's worth in winter I run 225/50/16's on all four of my OEM AP1's(Stock staggered sizes) and have no issues.

 

Are there any disadvantaged to doing this?
Any advantages?

 

It will handle differently

You remove the rear bias when running non-staggered. Instead of having a meatier tire in the rear, you even out the tire grip on all four corners. People who autox like running non staggered simply because it increases the amount of tire in contact with the asphalt. They tend to see the need to run a beefier front sway bar when running non-staggered to help keep a rear bias and prevent the back end from stepping out.

I don't think that running rear ap1's in the front will require fender mods. Running ap2 rears up front with a 255 tire will probably need some tab work up front to fit right. Other than increased cost of tires, I don't really see too many negatives.

 

The bigger front sway bar is preferred for the best handling. The car will probably oversteer more easily with the same size front and rear without the bar. If I can help let me know.
