The cons far outweigh the pros when it comes to turning the wheels around. It works OK for dragracing and flat tracking for stability, but your quad will become a handling nightmare when it comes to trail riding. Every turn will take more effort and will wear you down faster than you think. Every bump you hit with the front wheels will want to make your Blaster go in that direction. It puts more stress on your tie rods and ball joints, and will definitly cause your bearings to go out faster.

Had my 250R wheels turned around since I've had it. No problems here. Bump steer... Maybe.. Not bad enough for me to turn them back around.
