Thumbs up Safe to run front wheels on rear?

So I have a problem: I have a set of AP1 wheels on my car with near-bald rear tires, and I also have a set of AP2 wheels with completely bald rear tires. I'm autocrossing the car this weekend, so I'll be finishing off the AP1 rears.

Is it safe to just run the AP2 fronts on the rear of my car for a few hundred miles? I know the hub bore is larger, so will this damage the wheels or studs?

I need to get the car home from the autox (120mi) and then back to socal where I'm getting my new tires put on (240mi).

You'll be perfectly fine. Just make sure to correctly pattern when you're torquing the lug nuts. It'll center your wheel as you cross tighten your lugs.

should be fine. i thought the owner's manual even said to put the spare tire on the front and the front wheel on the rear if you have a flat.
