the rims i have on my warrior r really weird. i think they might be offset, because, if i put them on one way, it increases the wheelbase, the other way decreases. but wen the valve stem is on the outside of my quad, it makes the wheelbase smaller. so would it be ok to ride with the stem on the inside, i think it would be easier to bend the rim that way cause the weight isnt on top of the rim. its hard to explain. AND REMEMBER THESE ARE REAR RIMS, NOT FRONTS!!

ok here it is. what you are talking about is fliping rims. to flip the rims you would need spacers on the wheels from keeping the vavle stem hitting the caliper. A cheap and easy way of doing this is putting like 3 or 4 washers on the lugs than put the wheel on.
or either you can order offset rims for like 60+ dollars.


IMO i would no recomend fliping rims in the front. it puts more stress on the front end.


Your call...
