I bought some 1.5" (each side) rear wheel spacers and some flush valve stems for the front so I can flip my front wheels around. I'll take some pictures and let you know how it rides. I bought the flush valves stems for the front so at least if it rides like crap I can just turn them back around. Has anyone else done this yet?

 

The rear should be okay , but it will put more stress on your axle. But be very careful with the fronts, by turning your wheels around you will increase your "bump steer" effect. When you get the center of your tires away from the pivot point that can cause bump steer. When you run into something like rocks or whatever it will deflect your tires and can make you crash. That being said lots of people still do this. Just be careful.

 

Yeah, I kinda figured that. Same concept with big 4X4s. Thanks I'll defenetly be careful when I first try it out.

 

Just so you know the stock offset is 3+2 ,you can get wheels that are 2+3 offset which will gain you 1 inch per side . let me know how the spacers are for you

 

So, flipping my rims is the same as getting 2+3 offset? If so there shouldn't be a big problem flipping the wheels.

 

ANYONE?

 

Try it and find out, you probably be ok on the front, but if do lots of jumping might have problems with the rear axle!

 

wher did u get those flush valve stems?????????



thanx

 

JC Whitney. They came out to about $22 w/ shipping and everything. They came with for valve stems and the attachment that screws in for airing them up.

 

Put everything on and road around for a little bit tonight. It rides sweeeeet!!!!!!!!! I can tell a huge difference w/ turning. Havn't tried any jumps or anything yet, will this weekend and let you know how it is. Just a suggestion, if you do this take it to a tire shop and have them bust the bead on the tires for you. What a pain in the @ss.
