I was taking my wheels off today and installing painted mud flaps, Cleaning each wheel why it was off of course. And I noticed one of my rear wheels was cracked at the top of the lip where the tire lip joins the wheel lip, its about a half inch straight down. Its not looseing air or anything and drives fine. I have know idea how long its been like that, but I'm due to rotate them. Will putting it up front cause a problem? What do ya'll think

It's good that your not losing any tire pressure. However, a cracked rim is not safe. Especially if you rotate that one up front. If you ever hit a bump or pothole, the impact might cause you trouble.

I don't know about getting a brand new rim to replace it, but a reputable rim shop should be able to fix the crack, without adversely affecting the integrity of the rim. I'd at least try to get the rim fixed, for peace of mind, and your own safety.

Get it fixed. It might cause you problems when you go over potholes and bumps harshly.

I would just invest in some new tires, fix a flat always comes back to haunt you in the end, so im told!!!

I think it says not to use on low profile tires or something like that. I wouldnt want to be spraying that "sludge" into my rims anyways.
