does thi give the machine more stability in corners? what does this do exactly....i flipped them around already to see if the valve stems would clear and they do so do you think i should do it? its either that or wheel spacers

It makes the quad wider so it's more stable and handles better. It's actually better than using wheel spacers, because wheel spacers can break, and they add some extra weight. I have the wheels flipped on my warrior, it's about 4 inches wider and it's been working great for me.

it will make you wider,,,but you will experience a lot more bump-steer,,,and your front end will wear faster

i flipped em when i had my blaster and my ball joints went bad within 3 months. I did it after several people told me it worked fine on thier blasters...but i learned the hard (and expensive way) If you want a wider quad..do it right...save for the +4 a-arms.

Mine have been flipped for a year and a half and my ball joints are still in good shape. Maybe the blaster's ball joints are different than the warriors, but I think they are the same design.
