flipping front wheels

it will give your front a much wider stance. pulled nose to nose with a 350 raptor my front end is wider. some guys biotch about "bump steer" when you flip the wheels imo they are just wusses and cant hold on tight. LOL JUST KIDDING DONT FLOOD MY PM BOX!! I:I but all you need to do is take your front wheels off and flip them around so the valve stem is facing in. easy peasy. I:I
They ARE! pussy's!
if they'd do something besides play video games all day maybe they could handle riding their quads.8-|
They ARE! pussy's!
unless you're a pussy.
lol nice
you can also get a metal valve stem and install it reverse (like the stem facing inside the tire) then drill a new hole on the inside (your new outside) of rim. just makes it easier to fill with air and stuff
^^needs to be done if your running hydro's up front, otherwise the valve stem wont clear the caliper

Sure it makes it wider, but more importantly it makes it more STABLE when cornering. Of course if you only go in straight lines that isn't an issue....
BTW bump steer occurs any time you kick the wheel contact area farther out from the balljoints. This is why people buy steering stabilizers.
I thought about doing this, but wouldnt the calipers and rotors be outside the wheels? If you flip the wheels, couldnt the rotors and calipers get damaged? I don't want my rotors and calipers hanging out in the wind for rocks and stuff to destroy them.
Ha Ha, good way to put it! I flipped my knobbie rims, stem clears the drum brakes.
And yes wider makes it more stable!
yea it wears out your wheel bearings a lil quicker but on ebay there 10$ so its worth it and it makes it look way cooler
you could also put a set of flush mount valve stems if you have a 03' to 06'. I ordered mine on ebay for $10 plus s&h.
