Default CR Square?

I'm contemplating running 4 rear CR wheels on all four corners of my car. I understand the rears' center bore is smaller than the fronts so I would have to get some work done in that sense. Is this a good idea (running CR square AND enlarging the center bore of the rear CR wheels)? I don't know if I want to ruin a perfectly good set of CR wheels though.

I would run the stock (rear) sized 255 tires in the fronts if I do this. Which leads to my next question, will I need to roll my fenders to run rear CR wheels (with 245/255 tires) in the front?

The car (MY02) will be used for entry level HPDE, autox, and weekend drives.

Feedback is greatly appreciated.

you shouldn't have to roll your fenders to run the CR wheels on the front.

I'm kind of thinking out loud here, but I wonder if anyone has run a 3 to 5 mm spacer that stepped the wheel hub down from 70.1 to 64 mm.

Yes a spacer is an option over boring out the wheel. It's worth mentioning the v3 wheels are the heaviest oem wheel of any of the years.

The best option is to run a 5mm spacer up front, this is common, clears the hub so no honing and leaves enough thread turns on the lugs to be safe. As long as you’re not slammed, you can run a 245 up front on that wheel without fender modification/rolling.

Is there any off the shelf 3-5 mm spacer that converts the front hub to 64mm?

No need, the reason why a 5mm is used is because it clears the hub portion entirely.
