Definitely go through the front because that's going to be your guide for
the back, and those threads are messing everything up, so they need to get
messed up!, as in, erased. Just enough gone to allow the rack's bolt
through without bother.

I'm 98% sure that the bolt on the Nitto 32F is M6 x 1.0mm, which is
standard for virtually all M6 threads on bicycles, including cantilever
bosses, the larger rack bosses on some Rivs, seat bolts on Rivs, lots of
other things...
Now, if you have a threaded M6 x 1.0mm hole in the front
