Swapping the tyres or the entire wheel?

Unless the tyre sizes were the same, I wouldn't bother - very unlikely the wheels will fit (although I'm open to correction!)

There isn't such a thing as a back or front tyre, you may get tyres with larger dimensions on the rear of some (rear wheel drive) cars but as I said earlier, once you don't change the sizes you'll be alright.

You need to make sure the tyres are the same size and speed rating on both cars. If so it is possible to swop the tyres (not tyres and wheels) between the cars
