Default Flipping Rear Tires?

Hey all. I got my raptor, and people are saying their tippy. Instead of spending 250$ on an axle, could i just flip my rear rims? I did it by accident to one rim, and it gave about an extra inch on that side. Is this bad at all? Also, the stock tires are 20X10X9, and i have 20X11X9 Holeshots, will they fit the stock rims? Thanks.

The question is if you have enough clearance to flip your tires and add the wider tires to your stock rims. I would say yes it would work. Your 20x11x9 holeshots WILL fit on your stock rims, just one inch wider than your stock tires. Just gotta see if it will clear your exhaust which I am sure it will. Good luck with your adventure.

You can flip your rears around but you wont gain all that much width.
