Default ? about running slicks

Is there any reason it would be a problem (besides the goofy stance) running 26in slicks on the back with my 31in tall 275/55/20's on the front. Thanks in advance.

It's actually better than a level truck cause there will be more weight on the back tires.

As long as your looking goofy, put the factory fronts back on as well. They are less mass to move down the track. BTW, I run 26" ET Street's with 30" tall stockers up front sometimes also. The last race, I ran the 285/50's with the 18's up front as well.
