Handling issues with different track widths?

Handling issues with different track widths?
What are the normal handling issues with different track widths? Wider front than rear.
Nitto Mud Grapplers, Lockrite, 4.3s, Trail Ready BL, PTO, High pinion rear,Gu diff with Buds Customs armour and heaps of Superior gear, 24% Reduction .
Re: Handling issues with different track widths?
None, it's ideal. It promotes rear oversteer and therefore reduces front under steer. Some say it's harder to drive on sandy tracks, but I think that's given more hype than it needs. My TT is 3" wider in the front. There are plenty of race cars set up like this.

Re: Handling issues with different track widths?
RE: Sand driving, that would only be an issue if you were attempting to drive in an exact straight line for a reasonable length, which would be unlikely I reckon

Re: Handling issues with different track widths?
depending on the purpose of the vehicle it varies. I've seen as much as 6 inches narrower on an offroad buggy. I'd try to keep it under 1.5 inches on a daily driver though. it's a small part of the overall package though.
Re: Handling issues with different track widths?
The ultimate wider in the front than rear is a Morgan 3 wheeler (good handling). The ultimate wider in the rear than the front is a Reliant Robin, which has terrible handling as shown by Jermey Clarkson tipping one over an over at will. 
I loved that episode of Top gear.
