Flipping the Front rims????

[89yamaha]

How/why do you do this?

 

[brandoz28]

you simply unbolt the wheels, and bolt them back on with the valvestems to the inside


this adds width because the wheels have an un-even offset to them

 

[acezeesawtooth]

you just flip them so the valve stem is on the inside... makes the front in a few inches wider

they are correct, this is just a friendly reminder that the search buttin is your friend

Alright. I tried to do this for my son. His Blaster has the old-style drum brakes. The valve stem rubs the brake. Any suggestions?

shorty stems. 151515

Really? They're stock rims, so I'm guessing you're saying tubeless? -- Thanks

 

[acezeesawtooth]

yes its tubless if your stems are rubbing they make shorter ones and that should fix it

There are even removable stems made by Gorilla. They make it possible to flip wheels on 03+ with disc brakes.
