The best thing to do is get a-arms, because both flipping rims and using offset rims puts alot more stress on your ball joints. especially when your jumping. But if I were to run one of the two it would be offset rims because it would be far less stress than reversing the stockers just my .02

DO NOT FLIP YOUR STOCK EX RIMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they will break the steal inserts out then they will be trash

not only what they said^^^ but you'll also have wicked bump steer, which means the handlebars will turn a lot more when you hit stuff....just save money for some a-arms and shocks

flippin the stockers puts too much pressure on the entire front end

it might be ok if you flattrack though jmo

Save up your money and buy A-arms. You will throw off your handling.
