F40 Wheel sizes (larger in the rear)

[Profoxcg]

I noticed that some dnanos have a larger diameter wheel in the rear than in the front. Is there a particular reason for this?

I want to order some black wheels but I would like for both ends of the car to have the same diameter.

Has anyone experimented with this?

each dnano is a scale model of its full size counterpart so... modifying wheel diameters modifies ride height. this basically ruins the handling as the "real" car is not designed to run this way. the only types of cars where you can make that wheel diameter size change are those that have identical sizes on front and rear (ex: Nissan Skyline R34, Subaru Impreza WRC 2006, Lancia Delta HF Integrale)

Please see picture of my Subaru here:
Stock wheels were 18's all around and I went up to 19's all around. Considering going to 20's!

those are a perfect fit for the Subaru... i'd definitely push up the wheel diameter if possible as it increases wheel travel in turn, increasing overall speed.

You really think 20's will fit? And work?

i was referring to the 19's... 20's are a bit big i think

i'll buy the scale aperance but not necesarily the handling...

I'm still tempted to try 20's! At least for show..............
