Default flipping your tires

i flipped the tires around on my 94 blaster with stock rims, it gave me a good 3 or 4 inches in front, but it seemed to not affect the rear at all, what can i do to make it a little wider, i kinda want a banshee axle, but that looks too complicated to work with

Well if you want you can order up some douglas .125's for the rear, they're only about 35-40 bux a piece and the offset should add 3-4 inches.

Depending on your riding style, the .125's might be a bit soft. If you ride in ruff areas then you might want to consider stronger rims like .160's. They are more expensive but might be better in the long run.

im actually looking at some 160s right now, will they give me like 3-4 inches in the rear like the 125s? if they will i will definetly pay an extra 20 bucks for the stronger ones, cuz i ride desert mostly.

blue labels are too soft for anything but the dunes or drag races. Go with the black or red label wheels.

Douglas specifies their wheel thicknesses by different colored labels.

Blue Label - .125
Black Label - .160
Red Label - .190
