If you want stability then flip them around. It does add stress to the spindles.

I flipped the rims on the Blaster I had and it didn't seem to cause any excess wear. I've also done this with my Warrior and it seems to not have any excess wear either. The Warrior rims had to be drilled for a new valve stem; it wouldn't clear the brake system up front.
