Wider 250x

Im trying to make my quad wider, but not trying to spend to much money,so im
getting spacers for the back and flipping the front rims,does anybody know if is
a good idea to flip the front rims,or will it damage the rims or anything else on the
bike. <_<

It won't damage the rims, but it will put more stress on all of your components. A lot of people do it.

If you flip the rims around make sure your valve stems clear the brake calipers. You will probably have to use shorter valve stems or drill new holes on the backside.

Yes! im gonna reverse the valve stem in one side and drill new hole on the other
side. :smiliethumbup:

I know they're a bit pricey but I highly recomend a Durablue axle,not only will it make it wider but also a lot more reliable than stock axles.

yeah dude u should try n get a dura blue axle i have one for my warrior n its wider but sometimes wider isnt good because alot of ppl i kno ride trails n i go with them and i cant manuever as well so i end up hittin a few tress lol but u should def invest in gettin one of them

Thanks 4 the suggestions!! :smiliethumbup:

be careful Carlos, some rims are not reversable because of where the lug NUTS meet the rim ... many wheel manufactures put a TAPER (inward bevel) on the wheels ... this allows the lug nuts to actually trap the rim on the hub better ... I have seen people swap rims around, then use the back or flat side of the lug nut to hold the wheels on ... I guarantee if you do this the lug nuts will work their way loose ... just a heads up for you B)
