atv rim switch vs. wheel spacers
Hi iv got an lt160 and I was wondering if instead of wheel spacers for the front can I use a set of rear rims? The stock setup is F 20x7x8 8x6rim, R 22x10x8 8x8 rim,
I also can find some tires close to the front size that will fit the rear rim, has any one done this on there quads? Will it work, as long as it does not interfere with the steering?

No, I highly doubt you will get front tires to fit an 8 inch wide rim. Tires need to be a couple inches wider than your rim, usually, or the bead will fall off in a turn... if it makes it that long. If you use rear tires in the front they may rub the frame,,, who knows...
If you flip your front rims around, you may have to drill a new valve stem hole and seal up the old one... Or the stem will smack the disk brakes. That's what I had to do anyway.
I would buy new rims before buying spacers. Rims are lighter than rims + spacers.
