Fliped front rims??

[Cody_300ex]

I've been looking at a bunch of qauds and signatures and i see "fliped front rims". Is it supposed to make it handle better? Or is it just a really cheap way to make ur quad look cool? Does it hurt anything? Is it very hard? I may only be 11 but im very machanicly inclined. But Im confused! :confused:

....yeah, it's to make the front wider.
just leave em' stock man. i flipped mine, and rode the distance of a city block, and the valve stems were chewed up when i got back.
..also this puts stress on the tie-rods. bend em' pretty easy.

get wheel spacer's, or wider arms.
or maybe get a 400 or 250r front end and put on it...

dont do it. it makes it wider and more stable in turns but the bump steer is a lot more, u can bend tierods, spindles, etc...

you have to take out the valve stem and install it backwards, then drill a hole on the other side and put a valve stem in. this way the valve stem will not hit the breaks. this will widen out your quad, but is very hard on the spidles and bump steer is a lot worse. I dont recomend it.

i wouldnt do it

i did it for a few months, had no problems bending anything, it did hable better, but then i got a-arms..o yea about the bump steer, it doesnt bump to much when u ahve a dampener;)

me and my buddy reversed our rims on our 4-wheelers. i got a 300ex and he has a 400ex. looks good, handles good, and nothing bent yet. just pull out the vavle stem put one in backwards in that hole and drill a new hole on the other side and put a vavle stem in it and your set
