I have decided to keep my factory PP1 wheels but want to get wider. I have read that I can move the 9.5 inch rear wheels to the front with no problem if I use a 5mm hub-centric spacer.
I have not seen any info on putting the 9 inch front wheel on the rear after I have them widened to 11.5 inches.Is it possible to use the 45mm offset front wheels on the rear and have it flush with the fenders?
Tires would be Michelin Pilot Sport S4 with 285/35/19 up front and 325/30/19 in the rear.
thanks in advance for any advice. Jerry

Well when uou widen the wheels, the offset changes. Your new 2.5” wider wheel would have a new offset of ~77 instead of 45. Its goong to be just as deeply sunken as before, about 1”. You’d still need a 25mm/1” spacer to bring them to flush, and they may even be required to clear (Im not so sure about inner clearance on the rear)

Thats a lot of effort to get a very heavy, easy to bend, hard to clean wheel to meet the specs you want, but it should be possible.
