bodge Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 i have done my back wheels and was going to do the fronts but the front will end up wider than the back end. is this ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlotzBanshee Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 I hear its not a good idea. It'll throw off your susp geom. and it leaves your brake calipers exposed to rocks and stuff. I wouldn't do it $.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIRTMAN350 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 I turned my front wheel around and have not had any problems yet. I ride alot of trails where it will take the most abuse and it has been fine four about 2yrs now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shee-Male Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 I did it as well, but it makes it a pain in the ass to get at the valve stem, I also found at full steer the wheels will plow, I lost some skin because of this! It worked well otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98bonerSTOCKshee Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 don't the stems hit the calipers? I thought you had to drill holes for new stems to be placed on the new outside, and turn the old stems inside out?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebay has 'em. Then...you have to take the wheel off to add air. Kind of a waste if you ask me. When you turn lock to lock, the inside wheel can damn near rip itself off...so, be careful. That being said...I love mine and it compliments my +4 durablue out back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
