Can I run square setup with style 162 front wheels?

As the title says, can I do a square setup with style 162 front wheels only?

I am looking to set up a winter package and I have a couple of extra front wheels.

Will it work? Is it better than using the staggered wheels with 225/40/18 all around? Does it look okay?

YES!

I was thinking of doing the same thing. IMO, et 34 mm offset would make rear wheel look less tucked in the back (a good thing) and 225/40 would be perfect all around for winters!

Awesome. good to hear that. Are there any photos out there of such a setup and how it would look as compared to the original staggered look?
