Default RC18B Tire/Wheel question

Hey guys I have a unique question,

I normally have been buying the stock replacement tires and wheels, however when I am not racing I'd like to buy some on road sedan wheels with the adapters.

Now the question I have is that I noticed the front wheels on a RC18B are narrower than the rears. So would I be fine just getting the ame wheels at all 4 corners or should I be looking for replacements that are narrower up front?

Thanks in advance.

Ok, here is what I use: I use 1/10th adapters with Yeah Racing Mini wheels and GPM 1/18 mini-t tires. I have attached a pic of my car. I didn't like the standard wheels either! The are too balloonny

You should be fine running the same tire all the way around. Some of the people running them here like the wide tires in the front.

Thanks guys, I figured the same all the way around would be fine as the T version has that. Why would the wide up front be beneficial? Enhanced steering?
