Default GT500 Rear Tire as a Front Spare???
Does anyone know if the GT500 rear tire and wheel will work as a temporary spare for the front?

I think I read that the front will fit on the back but not vice versa but have no idea why.

Yes it will work temporarily in an emergency situation, but your steering geometry will be off as you would have two different sized tires on the front.

There are some guys on here that run the the rear tires on stock wheels on all for corners like the FR500 race car set up.
