Default S550 GT Performance Package front wheel change

2015 GT PP standard wheels front 255/40/19 pirelli pzero on 9x19
rear 275/40/19 pirelli pzero on 9.5x19
Bought car new... put on 35,000 miles original fronts near wear bars
Third set of rear tires on now. Want to put 9.5 x 19...the same rear wheel, tire and size that came with car up front.
Want to make each corner 275/40/19 on 9.5x19 PP wheels
Has anyone put the stock PP rear wheel and tire up front?
Would it clear the big Bremo caliper or have any clearance issues turning?
Live in Phoenix area and drive to California lots...the pirelli tires are incredible for high speed, hard turns and acceleration....

PS. Installed Gibson cat back exhaust 3" with 4.5" black tip. Gas mileage up 3 mpg...but now I can hear the motor and without the resonator when I accelerate the addition power lifts the front way more than with stock exhaust. Would recommend Gibson...about 700 bucks. Super easy to install

I put my 275 rears on the front and bought wider rims for the back and went with 305's. I have had them like that for almost a year and no problems.

I assume you moved the tire and wheel (9.5") from the rear to front...not just tire.
where did you buy I assume a 10" wide wheel for the 305...what brand and name of their design to match original GTPP wheels?
Are you using 40 series in back ? Still 19" wheels?
have friends that went to 20" for fat tires but ride on short sidewalls..
