(HELP) Your opinion on putting 4 front GTA wheels on my TA

I have a 89 TA with GTA wheels. Im thinking of putting 4 fronts on it to make rotating easier and for a better look as the rears sit so far inward because of the offset. Looking for everyone's opinion on doing this. Is it a good idea and does it affect anything (positive or negative)? Also does anyone have any pics with fronts on the rear to show what it will look like? Thanks again..

There is a thread on here that covers this. It does look better and like you stated makes rotating easier.

It actually helps handling by increasing the rear track width too - any third gen road race car with factory wheels will have the fronts all around.

I wonder why they didn't just do it that way from the factory? Manufacturing different wheels for the front and back was much more expensive for GM.
