alright thanx
what about wheel spacers? i heard that wasnt a good idea eigher

[theTman]

flipping rims-bad

wheel spacers-bad unless you just ride around in circles on a flat surface

spacers add more stress on your ball joints

flipping rims will make your bearings so alot faster

alright thanx for the help

[One_Bad_400]

the only "right" way to go... is just to go ahead and get +2 A-arms... brands such as lonestar, janssen, houser...

[exboy]

yeah i was just lookin for the cheap way out witch is prolly never a good idea

[exboy]

i just hate the way it looks with the backs stikkin out so much farther than the fronts

[rollie]

i run 2-3 offset wheels and i havent had a problem yet

[trx400exxracer]

Caugh up the money for A arms and then flip your rear rims. Leave you fronts stock offset.

Lol, if you flip your rear rims you will be even LESS wide in the rear:rolleyes:

Well, I guess that's the honda ones then cause with the yamaha stock rims for the warrior and raptor I know for sure, you can flip the rims and gain close to 2 inches. I did this when i took my warrior to glamis, the offset is like 5/3 or 5/4, with more backspacing then what's in front of the hub.

I flipped my rims and rode like that for over a year w/ no problems. As far as the handling being worse... It kept my bike from tipping and I could take corners ahella lot faster than w/ stock setup. Only thing that it made easier to bend were my tierods b/c of the added stress.
