[ridered711]

hey guys i have a 400ex with stock a arms and works triple rate with rezzies shocks.. i was wondering if i flip the rims to give it a little bit more width if it would effect anything or like would the like break off while im ridding..please help:confused:

i flipped them around for a while, they help a lil bit, but ur bearings will go a lil quicker then normal, nothing is gunna fly off or nething

I did it for a while. I noticed I would tire out alot quicker with them like that, and also it will bend tie rods very easily. If you do it, keep an extra tie rod handy.

Flipping the front rims around will mess up your steering geometry (same with front wheel spacers). That is probably why 'gojk' said he got worn out quicker with them like that.

If you want to widen your front end, save up the money and buy +2 a-arms.

What about rims with a wider offset like my 2+4? 2" inside and 4" out side. This makes my front end 2" wider on each side.

flipping rims and using rims with lots of offset is a very bad idea. Like others have said, it wears out parts and handles bad.
