I'm interested in flipping my rims around, but what exactly do you do so the valve stems don't rub.

put 3 washers on each bolt between the rim and the hub. just make sure you make them pretty tight so they don't come loose.

I have always wonder about that and see some people do flipped rims. Can you guys tell me what are the pro and cons for doing flipped rims??

Thanks alot

pro: wider= more stability

con: more bump steer, dangerous cause puts on more stress cause its wider...
