With my bike it will definitely be on an angle as the with the 14" and 12" its dead even.

yeah true but if i get a front tyre with a big side wall an then lower the rear end i reckon it will sit even an look good (i hope lol)

some ppl were saying yes some no so i thought fu@k it ill buy a set an see for myself it cant hurt an then when other ppl ask the same question i will be able to give them a correct answer

But wouldn't lowering the shock make it easier to bottom out? I was considering getting the 12" too. Going from 14-12 to 12-12
In the end I didn't get enough opinions and just got over the idea.

i think it does depend abit on you bike and the angle of your frame and shit.. my bro had a 14" front and a 12" back and he went out and bought a 12" front set up and put that on and it was sik even though your better off running 10" 10" the 12" instead of the 14" seemed to be fine could be different on different bikes but defiantly try it and find out =) bit against big wheels =) haha
