Turn over front rims (dangerous?)

[sleeman300]

Hi. Is it dangerous to turn over my fronts rims to make it larger (they are offsets)??

[EvilJester400EX]

Flipping your rims to make the front end wider? Yes, it is dangerous. You are putting more stress on your tie rods and spindles.

you will get alot of bump steer.

K Then it's dont a good idea !!?? :(

Naa I wouldn't do it, plus it makes your rim way more vulnerable, the stock offset on rims to put more strength towards the outside for rocks and trees ect, you'll have a bent rim or worn out ball joint before ya know it

I think that I will buy a pacer!!

What you are refering to as bumpsteer actually has to do with the pin angle and tire location where the tire meets the ground. By moving the tire out makes the steering more sensative because of the increased leverage on the steering. I do not recomend a spacer or flipping the wheels.

There alot wider than a quad, i'd recommend a yugo before a pacer, better gas mileage

i had tried this when i had my 250x and i didnt notice it at first but the tire stem would hit the brake guard every time around and i ended up with to bad stems once i was done riding but it works good on blasters i know

theres nothing wrong with doing it i am doing it on my ex didnt do it yet you can put in a nw valve stem too you have to pull out the old one and put it in backwards so the the stem is on the inside then on the other side ( this is all with the tire off) you drill a hole the size the stem needs and FILE it down so that it is smooth (so you dont cut the stem ) then you put it in and bolt em up bakwards (after you put ar in it ) lol had it done on all my bikes and i like it its the cheap way out of buying aarms and getting the width
