Formula Wheels

My wife had my wheels rotated as a FAVOR for me. I don't know if they put the correct wheels on the front and back. Can anyone tell me which offset goes on the front and rear? Right now the ones with the @1" lip on the outside are one the front and the ones eith the @1/4" outside lip are on the rear.

Thanks,
Fish

i think they are backwards...

the ones with the narrow lip should go on the front...

if they are on wrong... the tires will rub when turning the steering wheel...

later,
Chris

When George brought his car to Wall Mart for tires (First mistake) they put his 16" honeycomb wheels on backwards, and the calipers chewed up the inside of the front wheels.
