In the PP2 Supplement it specifies how to tell which wheel is front and which is rear.

I had the same question about my wheels.
The easy way to tell on the OEM PP2 wheels is look at the location of the valve stem. On the 10.5” (front) wheels, the valve stem is located in the smaller “V” shaped spoke. On the 11” (rear) wheels, the valve stem is located in the larger square shaped spoke.

They do this on all their specialty wheels.

Yup. It's right in the supplement...

wow, who would have known, LOL?
I never would have noticed the valve stem in the different location.
THanks All.

I'm glad I saw this. I just mounted my SVE PP2 wheels this week. 19x10/19x11. I thought there was something wrong when I stepped back and looked at it. Look at the pics. The front lugs are more recessed than the rear. My staggered PP1 wheels didn't do this. I guess this is normal for this style wheel?

Sure looks very wrong to me! Is there an Almighty gap between rotor flange and wheel hub, front wheel? Or is it cut back to give that bizarre look?

The concavity on the front has to be lower to clear the calipers so the only way to mount them is to make the hub thicker. This is typical on most wheel setups. Even my signature wheels are like this.

Yes, that's how they fit. Here's my old PP2 @ the dealer the day I purchased it.

Yeah, I agree. That does look a bit strange. Others posted that it's just the design of the wheel. My PP1 wheels weren't like that. I'll try not to let it bother me.☺

Also keep in mind they design these wheels for multiple fitment. If you went with a thinner hub on the front then those wheels would be more concave than the rear and that would look goofy as hell.
