Difference b/w front & rear OEM 18" wheels?
I was wondering if there is a difference between the front and rear 18" wheels for the Coupe? I was told that the front wheels are stamped "front" on the inside spoke so I'm just wondering why they would designate the wheels front and rear if they are the same. Another question. Is it OK tio mount a rear 18" OEM wheel on the front with the 225/40/18 tires? Thanks in advance.

you want to do that?

It's only purpose is to prevent the average joe, from accidently putting their 245/45-18 tires on the front. But yeah, you can mount 225/45-18 on the "rear" rim, and put it up front, so long as you remove that peg. I've seen other people do it, when they curbed their front rim, and bought a "rear" rim on ebay or something.
