I've thought about trying to square the wheels up buying two rear wheels to put up front to get rid of the staggered setup. Wonder if moving the wheels inboard by 27mm is wise. This would probably accelerate the wear on the inner portion of the tire even more so however.


What I might actually do when I get my car home from the repair is fit up the rear wheel to the front and see how it looks.
Back when I was measuring for maximum tire fitment in front, I tried the rear wheel(offset:44)+275/30/20 PS4S tire with a 15mm spacer in front(net offset:29) and it fit easily with room to spare. With an 8mm spacer(net offset:36), the tire was too close to the steering knuckle inside. This information should save you some time!
