Philippos Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 ive got 2+2' on the front and 2+2' on the rear and im thinking of flipping the rears for extra width will this give me more stability and make my bike turn easyier on turns? i mostly do trails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blast off Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 I think you mean flip the fronts. because flipping the rear wheels would make the bike narrower. They are wider in the original stock position, i actaully just measured too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippos Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 yes thats what im thinking. wider on the back or front what you think is better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blast off Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 ok, well you already have a +2 axle in the rear, i dont think its necessary to go wider than that in the rear. You could flip your fronts though, VoOK has it and im planning on doing the fronts as well. The only thing is the valve stem will hit the caliper so you need to dismount the tire, drill a hole and mount a valve stem on the inside of the rim and flip the other one inside out so it soesnt hit the caliper.

Of they are stock then go ahead you'll be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blast off Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 You are absolutely right, I forgot that my rims are raptor 350 rims or whatever and NOT stock shee rims. Please excuse my mistake. Phillipos, you can flip the rears if you wish lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
