Has anyone flipped the front wheels around to get more offset? My Raptor tends to plow through high-speed turns, and I think a wider front would really help this.

I realize that the valve stem would hit the brake caliper, but I have some flush-mount valve stems to resolve that. I had the wheels off last night, and it looks like it would widen the front about 3-4".

That, coupled with some wheel spacers in the rear should help stabilize my Rap.

I put the Dura Blue E-Z fits on the front and it made a huge difference. At an 1"1/2 apiece, they seemed just right. I have not put the 2"1/2 on the back yet. I am going to get them machined down to 1"1/2 to match the fronts. As for flipping the wheels, I think you should get an inch each side. If I remember right, they are 2" out, 3" in.

 

I have raced and jumped big in the dunes w/ my wheels flipped. no problems and it will make it 5 inches wider. Mine is 3 inches wider then my brothers who has 3+2 offset wheels.
