i'm talking about flipping out your tire to give your quad some extra width.

ive seen it done before. Some say that it raises the risk of breaking an A arm because it puts stress in the wrong spots. Others say that they have done it forever and never had a problem.

Depends on why you are doing it. If it is just for casual riding around trails and sand pits then you will be fine. But if you are doing alot of jumps and mx then you might want to invest in some wider a-arms.

On most rims you can't just flip the rims..Most of the time the valve stem will hit on the breaks in the inside.
