I just bought a set tires and rims advertised and front and rear.

Turns out they are all rears, I didnt notice untill I got them home. (120 miles later)

Can I safely use the 16 x 7.5 inch rear rims on the front of the car?

I am using Toyo RA'1s 225s on the front now, Is it possible to go up a size now say to 235 fronts?

Thanks.

The rear wheels won't fit in the front, as the hub bore and offset is different:

front: 16x6.5 55mm offset 70.3mm HB
rear: 16x7.5 65mm offset 64.1mm HB

EFFECT got a set of rears bored out in the center to fit the front of his S2000....probably wouldn't cost you much.... his car worked okay with them....cough...until he put it into the guardrail a few times.

The best balance in the S2000 comes from running larger tires in the rear compared to the front. This is made easier by having the front rims narrower than the rears.

As Brian GT mentioned, the rear rim will not fit the front since the center bore is too small in diameter to seat properly on the hub. I'd contact the buyer and encourage him to make this right.

Thanks everyone,

I will contact the seller and have him make it right.

How did it turn out?

Yes, the seller has agreed to pick up 2 of the rears and refund half the cash.
