Do not flip your rims, it's a dumb idea. It just makes you wider, and if you're going to flip your rims, DO NOT do the front...unless you want alot of bumpsteer.

Its possible, But "everytime you flip rims,god kills a kitten."

flipping rims does not cause bumpsteer...

It is done usually too widen the front end cheaply. It is negative in the fact that it will cause extra feedback through the bars and add stress to balljoints and wheel studs. It is also a bad idea to do it to a style rim that uses acorn lug nuts like the Honda wheels because the inserts where the lug nut seats is only meant to work one direction.

Works the same as spacers. Most times the falve stem will hit the caliper so you need to run a short stem or put a new stem on the other side of the rim. Then the stem closest to the caliper needs to be put in inside out.

Most times if you flip the rear tires it makes you skinnier.

All flipping does is change the off set. It does put more stress on parts since theirs more leverage but does not affect the shocks like longer A-arms would.

DO NOT FLIP FOR MX!!!!!!! crappy handling and you will wear out faster

it would prob be OK for TT or flat track though, but keep in mind that if you collide with another quad those brake rotors tend to bend easily and would end a race
