Default +6" Wider Front end Predator!

I'm still liking the Wider front end on the Predator, (+3 a side) but depending on the trails' width we're riding, I'll still swap the stock Maxxis tires back and forth with the 23" XCT holeshots. Its almost "too" wide for anything but wide open fast logging roads or dunes.

One thing I noted, was that the stock Predator tires have better road manners, or for fast rides. During some hard braking, the XCT's tended to want to skid or slide in straight line braking......I'll have to double check my tire air pressure, but the stock tire has a more flatter TT style shape to it rather than a more rounded Holeshot tire.....

NEW PICTURES! I've updated and posted pictures of the wider front end in my photo gallery if you want to see how wide it is now.........note that the front brake calipers are exposed now, instead of recessed and protected by the stock rim offset.

Heap: Sounding good. What aftermarket wheels are you running up front? What are the specs on that, backspacing, etc?

Any reason I just can't mount my stock ones on reverse? Other than the valve being on the other side? I've never done that, excuse my ignorance. My old 250R came with reversed front wheels, but I wasn't the one who made the change....
