i think i will just flip them, it looks like i will have about 0.1-0.2"clearance between the valves and disc

I was wondering what you guys think about this way of widening.

Do you think this would be safe and would work well? Or would wheel spacers be better.

I flipped my front rims on my 07 LTZ400, the valve cover slightly touches my brake calipers, is this ok or will this damage the calipers or the valve itself? thanks in advance

you might rip the valvestem itself, or if it hits the caliper long enough you will wear a groove into it.

so in others words, having my valvestem hit the caliper is completly unacceptable?

I would say so, but if it just barely rubs the caliper, you might be able to get some shorter stems to replace the factory ones and then it wont hit.

the valvestem cap hits the caliper by at least 3mm overlap but the base of the valvestem is rubbery (I'm new at ÂTV's, not sure if all of the valve's are like this) and so it's sort of flexible. If i remove the valvestem cap it overlaps by 1mm and still hits the caliper, but that is metal hitting metal so I assumed it would be best to leave caps on. here are some close-up photos I took just to give you an example.

ok forget it lol, I've been talking to my friend that race's a ltr450 superquad modded, and he says all I should is buy some spacers and keep the rims inverted, thus making the quad superwide and stable and solving my valvestem problem, thanks for all your help.
