Default front to back specific?

I know this is an engine section, but are all 4th gen wheels front to back specific? My chrome 17x9 ws6 wheels (that i got for 200 bucks!!!!)seem to be. I never rotated my 16x8's before i sold them, so im not sure whats up.

Yeah they are the same size of course, but the inner diameter of the wheel, where it hoes over the axle flange is different on the fronts and backs. The fronts are smaller inside. Does anyone just ream them out to fit either way?
