I have 9" and i think you have to do something whit the shocks if you put the 12" in the rear axel?

But why dont you try it?

Could be harder for 360 as these have bigger brake drums at rear, I think it was 9" so could be bit small clearance already?

And your right :wink: Why the hell should someone put 12" wheels? Anti-tuning?

Well, people do put magnets into fuel tank and all other kind of things, also some drifters prefer smaller wheels, who knows.

And there is nothing wrong in anti tuning, specially when done properly :lol:
