So I have 2 sets of OEM rims, 1 inch spacers on the rear but want to expand the fronts without spacers. I'm thinking I can add the other set of 17 inch rears to the front to accomplish a filled wheel well and 17 inch rims around. I guess I could even rotate the tires on each side. Any issues anyone could forsee?
Rear rims on front

Are you planning on running a non-stagger setup with same size rims for the front & rear?
17x8.5? You can put on a 215 or 225 tire, I guess that could work. But no way you are going to rotate the tires on each side...because
1) assuming your rears are 255, that is not going to work in the front
2) the overall diameter of the rear is bigger than the front
3) your TCS is gonna go up the wall

How would you get around the hub centric issue for locating the new front wheel? Aren't the hubs different in diameter?
TCS is based on the ratio of the front overall diameter compared to the rear. Here'e the info from the wiki...
Not sure what the ratio thresholds are for a 2001, but if its the same as 94-98, then you 'could' technically have a zero ratio difference making all 4 tires the same size all around. But you'll be looking at a 225/40/17 tire, maybe a 235...someone needs to comment on this tho.
