okbasspro Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 As title says I know some guys flip the fronts for a wider stance.Will flipping the rears have any adverse effects. Jeff Quote
sangheraent Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 I have my wheels flipped on my yfz and my banshee and its a little wider not by much though. you can notice a slight diffrence when driving. Quote
Darthwall Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 I did it to get a little more width out of it and havent seen any bad things happen yet besides the valve stems are on the inside go for it Quote
banshee_terror_ Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 yah they make rims with off sets so they either stick an inch or two in or out witch way you want to flip them doesnt matter. except for the air nossel. so you order the correct ones Quote
spurdy Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 As title says I know some guys flip the fronts for a wider stance.Will flipping the rears have any adverse effects.Jeff I have flipped my rears around with my sand tires before. I had a pretty deep offset and wanted the tires under the bike more for more bite. It worked well for me in the sand. Kinda like a narrow axle on a drag bike. SP Quote

00tbanshee Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 if you still are running the stock axle you can also flip the hubs around. Quote
okbasspro Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Posted March 7, 2009 if you still are running the stock axle you can also flip the hubs around. Do I have to pull and reinstall the studs for the lugs Quote
1996dragshee Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 Do I have to pull and reinstall the studs for the lugs no just keep the rims on the hubs like normal but flip the hubs,the bolts will be on the inside...put the left hub on the right side and visa versa.Not sure what rims you have but with my blue labels and paddles im narrowed in pretty good.Its just a pain in the ass when you have to change tires cuz sometimes the hubs are stuck on the axle.

locogato11283 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 i run mine narrow. LSR axle with douglas rims flipped so that it narrows mine up. Quote
LIM_Whiteboy4life Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 just pull the whole hub and flip it lmao... its buttass ugly but ive seen it done on a drag bike Quote
