i have a pair of rear work misters s1 18x10 +24 and just bought another pair that are wider to put on the rear, now can i use the old rear wheels and put them in the front. i tested the fitment and they don't rub anything but i want to know if there well be any safety issues so i can keep them on the front?

if they fit in the front then bolt them up. you shouldn't have any problems, especially considering that when you rotate stock tires, you swap the front wheels for the back ones.

My suggestion is to bolt them up and turn the wheels lock to lock ( to check for easy to find rubbing issues ). If that's fine then have a friend jounce the car while you look at the wheels to make sure nothing is hitting. To be doubly sure, take some tire chalk and color in some of the areas nearest to the tire/rim ( fender, subframe, etc.) and then jounce the car with the steering wheel in different positions from lock to lock. If you find that the chalk has been so much as touched then you know there's gonna be some contact. That'll be the most definate way to ensure against any rubbing issues.
