I did it to mine and nothing has happened yet. I have jumped it pretty high with the rims this way too. So I suggjest it it really helps.

Hey, I had a 95 Blaster and flipped the rims. It really improved handling and I jumped it big and never bemt anything. Now I own a Warrior and U can't reverse them because the valve-stem will hit the little disc-brake guard!! Later

You CAN flip the rims on a Warrior. You have to install a new valve stem on the opposite side and flip the original one to where it points into the tire, or plug the hole some other way.

Flipped mine around. I soon bent a spindle and the bump steer was honorable. So I put them back and bought +2" a-arms. 20 times better.
