flipped front rims??

[dbull09]

does this do anything really or is it just nice to look at a wider lip on your rim

im kind of a noob at this thanks

it widens it but you cant do it on a 03-06 though............

when you flip them, it will make the front of the quad about an inch wider on each side, because from the factory the rims are a 10x5, with 3 inches to the inside, 2 to the outside. when you flip them, you reverse this so it's 3 inches to the outside, 2 inches to the inside.


hope this helps!

you can do it on a 03-06 if you change the valvestems

i just bought a 99 and the rims seemed like they had a big lip on them and i was gonna flip them but i wasent sure if it had been done already

are the valvestems on the out side or the in side?

how much do they cost??

should be about 5 MAYBE 10 bucks. you're looking for "flush mount" valvestems

If it has a rolled lip its probbally a banshee/warrior/rim

 

[05blaster3]

would it be like having 1 inch wheel spacers but without the spacers (sorry if thats confusing lol)

 

[brandoz28]

essentially yes

 

[05blaster3]

ok thanks!!!!!! could i buy offset rims to make it wider to???

 

[brandoz28]

you could, but the closer you can keep the centerline of the wheel to the center of the balljoints, the better.


and buying offset wheels would be a lot more expensive than just buying spacers

 

[Quadrider10]

the problem with offset rims, is that the rims arent balanced on the spindle any more, and after time, jummping and what not, the bearings start to go, and edventually u have to get new bearings. ive had my rims fliped for a while, and had no problems yet, but i also havent jumped it yeat with them like that.

 

[05blaster3]

yea offset rims are a lot more expensive, i think ill just get new valve stem and flip my rims

 

[Quadrider10]
