It depends on the context.
Compare:
# He was ahead of me in the queue. # He was before me in the the queue. In these examples, both sentences mean the same thing. Either expression may be used.
But the word 'before' can be used in several ways, and not all of them can be substituted by the phrase 'ahead of.'
e.g.
* "I stand before you today..." cannot be replaced with "I stand ahead of you today ..."
* 'Schumaker was well ahead of his rivals' cannot be replaced with 'Schumaker was well before his rivals' ! * 'In the alphabet, the letter G comes before H' means that G immediately precedes H. We would not say '... G comes ahead of H.'
