I agree with colby.I just flipped the rears and gained about 3 1/2 inches if I remember right.It made the bike much more stable for racing but it does make it a little harder to turn.I will be flipping the fronts but I didn't want to yet because I can flip the rears back around to keep it narrow for trail riding.Once you change the fronts around you can't change them back easily because of the valve stems.I also got rid of the 22 inch balloons on the back and put on a set of Maxxis razrs 20x11x9.Worked great on the track but it killed the ground clearance and made the ride much firmer for trail riding.The ideal setup would be to get two sets of rims and just swap back and forth.

 

aight thanks for the input colby didnt even think about the flush valve stems.

 

With flush valve stems, you can still flip the front rims back w/o any problems; the flush stem will just point outwards instead of inwards.

Wow that would be awesome.Do you have any pictures or links to these valve stems?

 

I agree also with the comments about only widening the back. It makes for tippy turning. I've asked around my local shops for flush valve stems and I'm not able to find any. Another option to that, if you can't find them is to invert the valve stem for the inside, drill a new hole in the other side of the rim for another valve stem. I haven't done this task simply because my quad won't fit in my shed when widened.

I gained about 3-1/2" overall in the back. Not sure what the front offset would be.

in my experience, flipped fronts will result in many bent tie rod ends!

 

i have offset ITP rear wheels, i really like it being wider.. i trail ride alot also and havent had to many problems with it... over-all i think it is alot better more stable too... looks cool too
