Hey I wanna get more stability on the corners and jumps, get wider but I can`t afford a arms.

Do you guys think it`s a good idea?

1-What are the good and bad things about this mod
2-how can I do it?
3- Will I get more flat tires or something like that?

Thanks a lot.

Bad Idea!
1. You first would have to put your valve stem on the other side of the rim because it will rip it off on the inside.
2. Your a arms and ball joints aren't made to put up with the extra stress. They will, they just won't be as strong. I wouldn't do it, but that's just me.
3. Another option is wheel spacers, but it is kind of the same thing.
Hope this helps.

i flipped the rims on my 250x, yes it does work. I dont ride my quad that much, so thats my only reason for doing this. and it was a cheap way to gain stability. If you plan on doing any moto cross or jumping i would steer clear of this mod. and if you dont plan on getting to crazy i think this mod is ok. I did mine almost 2 years ago and every thing is still good. :)
