Is there any advantage to turning the front rims around to make it wider? Is there any disadvantage? Can I hurt the bike any??

turning them around makes your front end wider, which makes it track better. but it puts a lot of pressure on your tie rods and ends. when i widened my banshee i could count on bending an end every couple of weeks. oh yea widening the front end like that seems to make your stock suspension pretty mushy

Do you have enough clearance for your valve stem on the inside with the disc brakes and cover? Also I don't know what kind of atv you have but I know the Warrior and Banshee have a weak upper A-arm where the ball joint attaches to the A-arm.
