Default Tires and Rims

I just bought a set of Mudlite XL's moubted on C-Series Type 7 rims. I ordered 25x10x12 for all four wheels. The 2 sets of rims have different offsets. How do I know which ones go on teh front and which ones go on the rear.
One set has a very deep inner rim which sits the wheels further underneath the quad. The other set sits the wheels futher out of the quad.
If I put the deep rims on the back, the front end looks like a racing quad with the fron tires further out then the rear. If I put the shallow rims on the back, then they stick out further then the front and the rear brakes and linkage is more exposed.
Which is correct?
By the way, I have a Kodiak 400.

don't forget that a wheel can be mounted both ways round. The deep dish ones are only deep on one side. So if you turn the m around it will not be as deep. That way you can change it a little. Just don't forget which way to put both sides on. I took my front wheel off to get at my breaks and then put it on the other way round and couldn't work out why one side was taking way out lol. Well yeah i was an idiot i put it on so it stuck out too much.

Yeah so that might help. Genraly speaking you put the fatter wheels on the back (or deeper ones)

Hope that helps.

One set is not fatter then the other. All 4 are the same size. Also, the C-Series rims cannot be reverse mounted. The front side of the wheel is different then the rear.
