Default making warrior wider

Is fliping the back rims around a prob or hurt anything for making a quad wider more stable? Also is there anything you can do to the front to help it out?

flip you rear wheels around and you can get 2 inches more width off your warrior.

i just got new tires and was trying them backwards was the reason i ask but after riding it around it seems like it will be to wide to be very fast threw the trials so I will prob just flip them back. But it would be nice when riding on mx track just for fun.
thanks guys

Ok, I'll speak from experience here. I flipped just the rear rims and did not like the result. It created a serious understeer situation; the rear overwhelmed the front and caused it to plow. It was much harder to slide the *** around in a turn. The front outer shock wanted to compress and the quad wanted to flip; not cool.

So I bought a set of $15 flush mount valve stems from JC Whitney. With these installed, you can flip the fronts also. With BOTH front and rears flipped, the results are very nice. The quad is balanced, way more stable, and the rear will kick out before the front in a turn.
