Ok, so I just had the tires changed on my G.. came home and noticed that the left front and rear wheels are swapped, although the tire configuration (225/245) is good. Needless to say I am pi$$ed off coz I can't drive over the weekend. I wanted to go back to the shop and say some nice words on Monday. Before I do that, I just want to make sure that it's this shop that made the mistake and not the one before (that I might've not noticed).

So my question: Is there a way to tell if the wheel is a front or rear by looking at it with out pulling it off? part numbers somewhere? tape measure?

Thanks!

 

pretty sure the rims are all the same size. the tires on the back are just wider.

 

this guy that was interesting in purchasing my factory rims was telling me how the rear rim is heavier.. i dunno about that but the tires are wider, can be easily read from the tire itself..

also don't our Gs have a special nut that prevents the rear tires from being installed in the front?

In order to install spacers, you would have to remove this extra "nut"

 

Thanks guys!
