[W126 Coupe] Wheel Offset

The front and rear rims on my W140 coupe are the same size (7-1/2 X 16) and
mount the same tires (235R60/16) but have different offsets (bigger in the
back) with longer bolts in the back. Why is this? Is it just to fill out
the wheel well? Can I interchange the front and rear tires in case of
emergency? Will the shallower offset clear the brakes and suspension bits?
