Running Rears All Around

[healthyfatboy]

What kind of issues will I run into if I run rears all the way around? I have a set of 4x4 RTR tires that I want to run because I like the way they look but didn't want to have to buy fronts if I didn't need to. I'm also considering buying some wheels that I could use to rotate the tires between front and rear if I buy the same offsets.
Thoughts?

No thoughts from anyone?

u are putting them on a 2WD yes?

rear track remains same, front track will narrow by 6mm (3mm each side)


stock TRX wheels you can get away with running 'front' all round,
makes rear track 6mm wider but should foul body any more than usual

Not the best idea IMO. You typically don't want to give up track width if its not absolutely necessary. I don't think there will be any clearance issues, so if your coming at this from a purely budget, bashing standpoint it won't make a difference. If you race, or intend to race, buy the correct offset for the fronts. Premounts aren't too expensive from Traxxas either.

Thanks for the responses guys. I think I'll just stick with the same offsets for the time being. I'll be at the track for the first time this week so I'll see what every is running and go from there on what tires to put on the wheels.
Thanks again.
