There may be clearance issues with a rear wheel on the front. The backspacing is 0mm(around a 4" backspace)for the front wheels and +16mm(around a 4.75" backspace) for the rears which pulls the rears into the wheelwell. Check the one front wheel you have against one of the rears and you'll see what I'm talking about. This arrangement was designed into the WS6 suspension to help the handling but I haven't noticed any change in my Formula with the different wheel setups I've ran through the years. Most people try to find 4 fronts as they look better with the wider lip.
