your friend wouldn't really need to flip the tires, he would just have to put the wheels on the opposite side to correct the tread direction.

I have done this on almoast every one of my quads. Currently it is done, front and rear on my banshee with no effects. (other than more bump steer)
No bearing problems at all.
I drilled a hole in the inner part of the rims, put in new valve stems, put new stems reversed in the stock holes so they would seal, and clear the brakes.
(just as the other guy did)
It is a bit of a hassle, as you need to break the beed to get access to the inside of the tire. My local motorsports place just popped the bead for free.
(you dont need to remove the tire, just pop the beed)

There's 3 options that I can think of for widening the rear of the rappy 660
1. Wheel spacers
2. New offset wheels
3. Wider axle(I recommend this over the other two, it's more expensive and more work to install, but it's a lot stronger and more reliable, the stock axle is a little too weak for hard riding with the extra leverage)

personally, I would do both at the same time. From my experiences when the front and rear are different widths the cornering is a little on the unstable side. If you were to do only one, I think the best would be to do the front first because I think that has a bigger impact on the cornering and stability, and you wouldn't have to worry about clipping trees with the rear tires because they stick out more.
