Could you use spacers on those `rear` wheels, and put them on the front instead? ( To get the ET value correct while maybe not making them stick out too far... )
Perhaps that is what the last owner did, and that's why he said he used 5m spacers on the front..?
Not trying to confuse matters, but you don't want to scrap wheels that you like, if there is a way to fit them...
