Front WHEELS!
Ok im looking at my front wheels the other day and realized that for some reason they stick out farther than my rear wheels? I have 4 piston baer calipers with 13 inch rotors in the fron could that be? i want the front ones to even with rears. any suggestions

should there be a reason why it sits out that much, with that brake set-up or maybe the rear wheels are on the front lol.

I don't think it would be the brakes, the wheels would either fit or they wouldn't. Unless the lugs aren't tightened all the way down [&:]
Or, maybe the previous owner put spacers on the fronts (And maybe had them on the rear too, but took those off(?)

275/45/17 all the way around and no i havent taken them off since they have wheel locks and didnt get the key to take them off.Hmm so should i take the wheels off and see if their are spacers in the front? Im assuming it may have them so the calipers could clear the rim and they didnt put any for the rears. but are spacers safe?

If they aren't safe, you might as well run them on the back since you are running them on the front.

No they havent fallen off, but then again i dont knw if i have spacers that was just a guess why my front ones were sitting out so much. But i heard spacers were knwn to snap so i wanted to see if anyone had that issue

I have heard that 275's all around sometimes look like the fronts are wider (that's why I went 275 and 285) however yours looks more prominent than the other pics I have seen. I'd take the wheels off and see what the deal is. If you don't have the keys for your locks go to discount tire or somewhere like that. They yanked mine and put new ones on for $30. That was like $24.95 for the new locks included.
