Flipping The Rims

[fernCPT]

Does Any One Know If Flipping Your Tires Is Bad Because I Have My Back Tires Flipped But I Heard You Can Flip The Front Ones Too

So will say it is & give you the bump steer story.
I don't find it a big deal, it's the old school way of getting a wider stance.

whats another way of getting there more wide that dosent cost alot

[climb any hill]

There's no other way besides buying offset rims, +2 extended A Arms is the way to go!
Not cheap but that' the best way. Sand Show this weekend in Costa Mesa. Sure you'll find a deal there!

if you flip the fronts, most of the time the valve stems will hit the calipers.

If you don't get the low profile stems...it will hit them EVERY time..
I used to pop the bead, pull a new valve stem inside on the original hole and drill a new one on the opposite site.

It can make handling twitchy.... As you know, the best bet is wider aarms...but, this is the cheaper way to go by far...

The biggest problem is lock to lock the inside tire turns much further...and it wants to bind up if you're rolling backwards (down a hill...etc.) Could bend stuff or cause a problem...

Personally dont like that setup. bump steer, calipers exposed, tire wear, and it looks like poop.
