Right now i have 1.5 inch wheel spacers on the front of my 400ex. A buddy of mine has a 400ex but instead of spacers he flipped the front wheels around. It gave him about as much more width as my spacers did. What are yalls opinions on flipping the front wheels around? I am lookin at makeing my 400 wider and was thinking about takeing the spacers and putting on the back and flipping the front wheels around. Has anyone done this?

 

it will work fine. granted the rear and front have same bolt pattern...

 

Thanks for the reply, and yes my spacers will work on the front or the rear. They are the ones from CRJ performance.

 

Flipping the wheels around on the front will interfere with spindle and suspension geometry and cause it to handle poorly and cause the suspension to work inadaquitly. It puts too much stress on balljoints and tie rod ends also. You are guarenteed to bend or break tie rods and/or tie rod ends from the added bump steer it will cause. You are better off buying after market deeper dish wheels which WILL work and wont interfere with front end geometry enough to hurt anything. Now you're asking yourself why aftermarket deep dish wheels will work and not flipping the stock wheels???? The wheel manufacturers know what I said above and don't put a severe enough "dish" to the wheel, like stock wheels flipped around would be.

But if that don't bother you at all, go for it.
