Rear stock 9.5" in the front

I have an opportunity to buy 4 rear 20X9.5 stock takeoffs for a funny price.
1. Did anybody try to put rears in the front with spacers ? Which size spacer?
2. Would you use this size spacers if you track your car?

Thanks

I did this and it did require a 15mm spacer. I used an adapter though so it had new studs. With 15mm there was room for a 285/35r20 without any rubbing.

Where were you rubbing that you required a 15mm spacer?

OK, but where exactly is this being seen? There are only two spots for interference: the strut-to-spindle bolt flanges and the spring seat. The bolt flange can be trimmed and, my measurements proved only a 5mm spacer being needed. I have to imagine with a 15mm spacer you have a LOT of extra room. If a 20x10 with a +25mm offset fits without any modifications, a 20x9.5 with a +34mm (5mm spacer) offset should (if ANYTHING, minor filing/trimming. The spring seat is dependent on the overall diameter tire you use.
