fliping the front rims

[rancher350rider]

would this make it wider ?? i herd it dose is that true

yes it does but your valve stem his the brake caliper i think. pretty much does the same thing as wheel spacers which isnt the best idea for widening.

We tried that... You have to invert the valve stem and then drill a hole for a new valve stem on the other side. It adds 1 inch per side. Making the rim a 2-3 offset verses a 3-2 offset.

What we noticed is that the bump steer after doing that was very bad. A steering stabilizer helped some.

Spacers increase the bump steer as wll. They also add more unsprung weight and rotating mass. The combination is a formula for disaster if you are racing or jumping.

If you want it wider, the best thing to do is go with extended a-arms.
