I have a set of iroc wheels and want to know why they are marked Front/Rear? I have a broken front and was gonna replace it with a rear one I have.

 

I think its because there diffrent offsets or widths. but i think i remember reading you can put front iroc wheels on the back but not the back on the front. Good luck

 

Not sure why this is under the engine section.

You are correct. The width is the same. It is the offset that is different. You can put front wheels on the back but not rear wheels on the front. If you put rear wheels on the front, the wheel will hit the caliper and wont move once bolted to the rotor. And this goes for the regular wheels as well. Not just the Iroc's.

 

haha i just noticed it under tech/general engine lol. wait when you say regular wheels are you talking about ALL wheels or just thirdgen? i remember a friend said that they mixed matched their wheels when rotating. like front on back, back on front

 

I'm talking about third gen wheels. I know for a fact that atleast the regular 91-92 wheels are also marked back and front.

 

Thats to funny I just noticed that I put it in the wrong area. My bad but yall responded lol. if I knew how to move it i would sorry. thanks for the input. gonna do some measuring let you know what i find out.

 

Okay so here it is. The back space on the rear iroc wheels are 4 7/8 and fronts are 4 3/8 ,so I put in longer studs and 1/2" space fixed the problem. I did this to the front so now I can use the rear one up front for now.
