rears on the front?

[only me]

ok hears a silly question, can you put chimara 500 rear rims (16 inch ) on the front end normally 15 inch, only my fronts are a little bit scuffed and i can find good 16 inch rims but lack of 15's also thought it might fill the arch a bit more and slighty wider, any ideas in what to pay for a good pair of standard chim 500 rims as well 15 or 16's.

Quick answer : Yes.
Longer answer: If you car has power steering use 16" Griff/Chim500 rear wheels with 225x45x16 tyres as TVR did on the latter end of the last 100 Griffs.You wont be able to use 245 section tyres (as found on the rears) as they will foul the arches.
If your car doesnt have power steering then maybe a 205 section- 205x45x16 ? may be more suitable.

However, remember the extra half inch is all on the inside, so the steering center offset will be thrown out by a quarter of an inch. Not the end of the world, but the extra kickback is noticeable.
