Default disadvantage of different size tires - rear vs. front

Hello,

I am curious on some insightful comments/discussion on running wider tires on the rear of the vehicle than the front.

IE) 32/10.50 - front
32/12.50 - rear

With wider rims in the rear. What are the downfalls to this?? I am not a suspension man.

Thanks all

i dont see what the advantage would be in running a wider wheel in back, also if your using your stock rims the 10.50 will fit just fine but the 12.50 tire will be too wide for the stock rim.
