flipped rims

[250exlogan]

i fliped my rims on my 250ex.
i toos washers and put them on my lug bolts. and took off me valve caps. and it just barly misses the brack claliper. :) here's a pic if it will work.

be careful w/ that setup. This can wreak havok on all the components on the a-arms.

i'd put it back to stock b4 something breaks:(

if ur going to be going over and ruff stuff id put it back to stock. flipping the rims will cause alot more bumb steer.

Looks cool but like the others said it may cause problems.

[yellow_ho_01]

ya sure it can cause damage,.... but what about this,..... how many of you run wheels that have a wider offset the the factory front wheels...?..... SAME THING!! ive been running my stock wheels flipped for over a year now, i bought some of them trick valve stems that are flush with the wheel and i have not had a single problem!!..... i would not go back to stock width if i had to! right now im running new douglas wheels on the front with razr2's the wheels were 2-3 offset i think,... but i flipped them too and still love them!!!

Listen up. With you and your flipped front rims... well yea it's looks cooler, and may seem to work better in some areas of riding. Just member more you mess with something, most likely it'll turn into a problem. You flippin those rims puts more pressure on that skinny tube where the ball joint screws into and those arms arent very strong. Also you will go through wheel bearings quicker and ball joints quicker. And will recieve quite a bit more bump steer.

[stupid driver]

not only do they put more stress on the ball joints and other components, offsetting the rims leaves the brake calipers exposed. The stock rims play the job of protecting the calipers. Now, if you go over a rock, your screwed

i had the front rims flipped on the recon for close to a year with no problems. same thing with my friend's 300 2x4.
