Default "91-"96" TURBINE DIRECTIONAL WHEEL ???

On my "91" coupe the stock directional wheels are set to slap. Other than the direction of tire being corrected(about to get new tires) would there be any other problem from switching sides to get the dig effect. May sound like a pretty simple question, just wondering????

They are set up to provide cooling for the brakes

I guarantee that you can run with them "backwards", just make sure tires are properly oriented. Yes, you will give up some brake cooling.
