I seen a raptor with the front rims fliped so the offset is to the
outside. he had to drill a hole and move the valve to other side. it
looked good. its a cheap trick!!!!

flipped my front wheels around but insteadof drilling another hole I used like 3 washers on each lug to be ble to clearthe valve stem. Works Great! Just make sure u use some loctite to be sre ur nuts dont fall off.

Just wondering. What does the valve stem interfere with the backing plate or brake caliper or both? Just out of curiosity. Thanks.

Rather than flip my rims (or use spacers) I have a set of douglas rims with a 1" offset which work really well. they sent me the 2" offset first and I sent them back, they left my brake calipers exposed. but the 1" offset are great. You can also flip your rims around,plug up the original valve stem and have a new one drilled into the other side.
