|  Front/Rear Rims
I accidentally ordered rear rims for the 2.2s. What is the reason to use fronts not rears? Is it backspace? Thanks. Jim

Yes, backspacing/offset. The mounting surface on the fronts is deeper in the wheel, and can cause interference with the steering knuckles.

I have used one set of fronts and one set of rears on both my crawlers. I like the look of the rear rims better because its a little more realistic looking, but because they are in so far they rub the shocks in their stock location, so moving the shocks out for servo clearance or wheelbase extension clearance won't work. From now on I will only be using fronts.
