997.2 Front wheel question! Can a Cayman REAR go on the front?
below are the specs below for the two sets of wheels. Currently at the track, I run a 20mm spacer up front, and a 12mm spacer in the rear with the standard NB wheels!
What I am looking to do is use the following setup:
Front - 19x9.5 - 46mm Offset (Cayman)
Rear - 19x11 - 51mm Offset (997 WideBody)
Stock Set-ups:
Cayman - 19x8 - 57mm Offset Front / 19x9.5 - 46mm Offset
997 NB - 19x8 - 57mm Offset Front / 19x11 - 67mm Offset
997 WB - 19x8 - 57mm Offset Front / 19x11 - 51mm Offset
Let me know your thoughts.

Might not help much, but I can tell you I ran 17x9 boxster rears on the front of my 996 for a season without any clearance issues. Really improved the front end grip substantially over the factory 8" wheel. I can check the wheel specs later if you want, they were the standard boxster twist wheels.
I've HEARD of running the 18x9 boxster rears on the front as well, but they're harder to find.
