Default Flipping 400ex rims?

ah forget it , i dont want it to look like crapola.

wheel spacers arent good, when i jump i dont feel like seeing my wheels rolling by me.

i will just wait and do it properly.

It doesn't look bad to add extra holes. You will see little rubber circles on the inside fron the original holes but it works good. I had 2 sets of wheels for my Banshee that were this way.

Try flush mount stems, see if they clear.

Yes, if you can break down a tire. You have to break the bead to get the new stems in. You would also need a drill and a 3/8 drill bit.

When I did mine I left the tires on. Infact if you get trick you can leave one bead mounted. They are a pain to get down, you know.
