What would be the implications, if any, to using four OEM rear base wheels (20x9.5) all the way around the car. I was able to find two sets of brand new rear wheels, bought one, but now it's been difficult to find the OEM front wheels (19x9.5) in good condition. Again, this person has another set of brand new rear wheels. Would there be any issues? Sorry in advance for asking a dumb question.

Thanks!

I wouldn't think there'd be a problem, just larger rims upfront. I'm not 100% sure though.

Shouldn’t be any problem at all. A vast majority of people swap our fronts and run 20x9.5 front and 20x11 in the rear. I think the offset is still the same for the rear also.

You may need to run a spacer on the front, as the front caliper is wider than the rear. I'm running 20" 13-14 rear base wheels at all corners and I run a 5/8" spacer with ARP studs and open lug nuts.

Appreciate the advice. I'll do the same. Thanks!

Tried to go that route, but after buying that wheel from two different vendors, they would come back saying they didn't have the wheel in stock or couldn't find it. One would wonder why they have it on ebay then. I think doing 20's all the way around is the better direction to go anyways.

I had the base 20×9.5 wheels all the way around. You will need a 5mm spacer to clear the front 6 piston Brembos, I learned this the hard way. Thankfully I didn't damage my front calipers. But they do look awesome.
