Wanna Flip my fronts. Need Shorter Stems?

[Triple_B]

I want to flip my front rims so my blaster is wider. But mines an 03 and the stock valve stems hit the caliper. I know you can get shorter stems for the rims and I want to. I found a few but I dont know the dimensions of the stem holes in the rim so I dont know which ones will work. Can you guys help me out? Thanks

I don't think it does any good on the 03+'s but could be mistaken

you either need the flush mount ones, or get a tire ship to which the valve side

I no for a fact that it makes it +2 inches wider. Because I flipped them once not knowing the studs would hit the caliper until i started riding it... but it makes it wider.

its not the studs , its the valve stem that hits the caliper. Simpler and easier solution is get a $20.00 set of 1.5" wheel spacers from ebay . they will set the wheels out far enough so no wheel or tire modification is required

Lol I swear it said studs in your original post maybe it got edited bt anyways yep the spacers will solve the problem

I just took my wheels down to a local tire store. They had the gorilla brand flush stems for $20 installed. The only prob with them is you have to remove the wheels to add air.

I drilled a new hole on the inside of the rim, added a valve stem and then cut out the old stem and replaced it by putting a stem in backwards. Costs about $5 for 4 new stems
