Default Raptor wheel flip...

Do the stock rear rims on a Raptor 660 have a positive offset or negative...? What I was thinking, is if it is possible to flip the rims around and bolt them the other way.. Would this cause them to stick out more or in.. I don't have my raptor hear and I can't remeber if the rims are deeper looking into them or looking out(in from the side, out from where the axle is)

I think it wouldn't work but I was wondering, becuase that could at as wheel spacers..


MIke.

It will make it a lot narrower. So stock, the deep offset of the rim is facing outward. So by flipping them, it will only make it about 2-3 inches narrower. The fronts make it about 2 inches wider a side when flipped, but the rear rim offset is different.

Thats what I figured, I just couldnt confirm it without my machine, I heard that the front flipped works for gain.

you have to drill out another valve stem opening for the fronts on the opposite side or the rim , then patch the existing hole

Or, flip the vavlestem inside out on the front rim, then drill another hole and insert a new vavlestem on the deep side of the rim.
