Did you intentionally mount the fronts and rears in opposing orientation?

Nah, that was just me so excited to finally get them on the car I didn't even notice LOL

I like the wheels with the deep dish look, it makes no difference to the fitting. Are these the bearings I need? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1-8x5-16-x9-64F-Metal-Shield-Flange-Ball-Bearings-/310285986258?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item483e7c69d2 1/8x5/16 x9/64F Metal Shield Flange Ball...
