Default Rear wheels on the front?

Does anyone know if you can fit the rear wheels on the front and vice versa?
I think one of my front wheels are buckled as I have an inbalance but Don't want to buy a new wheel if I don't have to.
I know it would probably rub on full lock but would it be okay to try it?

You can put the front wheels on the rear, but not the rear ones on the front. They are too wide and would rub on a bolt from the upper control arm. Reach your hand over the top of the front tire and you will see what I mean.

Remember that your rear tires are a different width and diameter than the fronts.
Therefore you would have to swap both rears/fronts - not just one.
I have no idea what it will do with your speed 'sensors' etc.
99.9% of people on this forum would highly recommend NOT doing it.
