Default ap1 non staggered wheels

Is anyone here running ap1 rear wheels up front and if so did you bore out all four wheels to 70.3mm and rotating them or just leaving the fronts up front and the rears in the rear?

I'm assuming if you were running a square set up, that if you were to rotate them, you would (depending if you are lowered) rotate them with FR L to the BK R and vice versa. I believe that if you are on stock height, you would just rotate the FR L to the BK L and vice versa again. It could be the opposite though...I would wait to have others chime in.

Depends on tires, too. Asymmetric tread pattern would allow you to swap side to side whereas directional would limit you to swaps on the same side (drivers side, passenger side).

Since I run the staggered wheels with directional tread (Hankook RS3) and I wear the outside edges off, I flip the tires on the wheels and put them on the other side of the car every 5,000 miles.

I know how they rotate. I was wondering if anyone with a square set up on ap1 wheels were getting all 4 wheels bored out so they could be rotated. I guess what I'm getting at is it okay to bore out the the wheels to 70.3mm and put them in the back or is it recommended to just keep them at the stock bore and only have the front wheels bored out to fit.

You can do that but you should use hub-centric rings in the rear so that they are not lug-centric. You can drive with it lug-centric but they wont spin as smoothly.

Agree! For the sake of safety install rings.
