Yes but why would you do that ??? (aside from the obvious of trying to cheap out)
Personally I would not put the rear wheels in front unless I have another pair of rear wheels to put out back.

RWD car with wider front wheels....thats a new one.

As stated, it can be done. But the obvious and best solution would be to get the same size wheels all around. Whether it be the 8's or the 8.5's, they'll both work with 245/40/19 tires

+1 best option and sell your OEM wheels to offset the cost.

no one is buying my BADLY ribbed up rims. lol

it actually cost $100 more to go all 245 then to do 225/245
so it would be cheaper for me to just pay $80 to have the tire dismounted and remounted at 15K miles
