flipped rear rims with 2+2 axle

[redhondi400]

Here is the deal I just put on my Durablue 2+2 axle for my 400ex. The problem is that the bike looks stupid because the back is wider than the front. I read that flipping front rims is a bad idea. My question is what about flipping the rears the make the bike look stock? Does anyone have any insight on the topic? I don't have the funds yet to buy new +2 a-arms.

the wider the better

You shouldn't flip stock rims because of the steel lug nut insert will be on the wrong side.



P.S. wider is not always better!

take the spacers off your axle, then it will be stock width.

When the back is wider then the front, it tries to spin around and do "doughnuts" while turning.

I did take out the spacers and still not stock, but all well it will sit like this until I get some +2 A-arms. Thanks fellas on the input
