I flipped the front rims over to get it wider but when i spin the wheel the valve stem hits on the caliper. Is there any way i can fix this? there is a kid on blasterzone.com that has flipped stock rims and i guess he doesnt have any problems. HELP ME PLEASE.

 

SOME one please help me.

 

your going to havto re drill a valve stem hole on the other side and plug up the one in the rim right now...

 

Sure, the fix is easy...flip them back over. Lol.

 

Is there anyway i can shorten the valvestem that is on there instead of drilling hole in the rim.

 

I want to make it wider. And i dont have the money for wheelspacers.

 

They do make a bunch of different length valve stems. Should be able to get some from a tire shop, or auto parts store.

 

Mine hit on my raptor, and at the time i was too lazy to redrill ahole, so i put afew washers inbetween the hub and the rim to space it just far enough to clear the caliper setup. Oh, and i removed the valvestem caps also. Hope this helps---Rider1169

 

We did that on my friends blaster, flipped it around, put washers on there, but for some reason, it didn't work at all. I remembered that the stem cleared, but something else was wrong so we put it back to normal...

 

The valve stem just unscrews doesnt it? Did the washers you put on, were they loose fitting around the stud or were they tight? How many did you use? Thanks for the help
