WS6 wheels

is there a difference between WS6 wheels that are front and rear specific and normal base model wheels? on the inside of the wheel, they say "front only" and "rear only" ... does the car/brakes/spindle need to be anything special to fit these? or is it just the wheels? thanks

IT's different backspacing is all, the rear's use more backspace so that they won't fit the front without rubbing. The offset may be different as well, not sure on that.

Wheels will fit your car. Just don't put the rear specific wheels on the front. The front wheels can mount on both the front and rear.
I was running 4 front GTA Crosslace Wheels on my car, gave it a nice wide stance,
