It's common to put the wider tires on the drive wheels for better traction.

Actually the theory behind this is that the rear will rotate easier when cornering. Also if anyone is looking for the 6UL's.. they're available in sizes from 15x7/8/9/10/11 now. Let me know if anyone is looking for a set. I am a dealer.

What offset are those, and do you have any problems with fitment/rubbing?

I've been thinking about some 949's.
