Can I use rear oem style 513 wheels in the front?

Never mind. Found the answer. Can do but with 20mm spacers to clear the strut

I'm going through the same debate. Start with 15mm front / 5mm rear spacers for 513 squared setup. The rear 513 wheels cost as much as a set Apex EC-7 ET33, just add 10mm spacers in front. I think I might just save my 513 for winter setup.

I think I'll start off with just putting a 275/40/18 tire on the stock front wheel. 10" width would be optimal for that size but 9" is still allowable.

Thanks for the advice on the spacers. I get that using a spacer is pretty much the same thing as using a wheel with a different offset but I've been told "no" on spacers so often I'm still starting to wrap my head around going that route.

Use Macht Schnell or Burger Tuning spacers. They're proven not to vibrate at high speed and they're hub centric.

Renn Sport make good spacers. Lightweight and strong. Are you getting stud conversion? Easier to find wheel locks for studded sets. Never run a day without wheel locks, people are shady.

Correct. Many people use spacers for the track, especially with square setup (as the front require spacers). Switch to stud while you're at it. That way you don't have to guess the bolt length and trying to find extended wheel locks.
