Front's go to the front and Rear's go to the rear.
The front rims should have a wider (bigger/thicker) "lip" and the rear rims should have a narrower (smaller/thinner) "lip".

You can get another pair of fronts to mount on the rear, that way you can rotate front to rear and it will give you a wider stance in the rears,
That is what I did with my 88 Formula,

so the front ones can work on the rear, and the rear ones would have trouble if mounted up front?
i ask cause i have a pair of formula wheels like that picture, and they both say front, and i wanted to put them on the rear.

no tire removal is needed, only take the wheel off the car and look on the rear of all the spokes, you will see casting info and front or rear will be writen there
