olmick Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 i went today and had shorter vavle stems installed and it still hits the brake caliber, so does anyone know where i can get some invisible stems? if not then where should i drill a hole in the rim on the other side?

White06Shee Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 I Posted this already but if you scroll down and look at the bottom you will see my topic, but i went to discount tire and had them order me some flush mount valves for almost 20 bucks it was like 18.50 or something and it came in a pack of 4, they installed it on my front rims and when i get my dune rims im going to put the other 2 i have left on those but yeah to answer your ?

BansheeDan Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 pull regular rubber valve stems in backwards(butt out) then drill a new valve stem hole in the barrel(the flat part) of the wheel...... did it on my 03 blaster and it worked awesome..... alot cheaper then 18.50 for flust mounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helldriver Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 just curious as to why you dont just buy a wider offset rim, flipping the stockers usually isnt a good idea just my 02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blue Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 wouldnt be any different than checking the tire pressure normaly..... What is the difference in buying a off set rim, basically all they did was put the stem on the opposite side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell you what, better get a steering stabilizer though...it'll rip your bars out of your hands a lot easier... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White06Shee Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Very true About Riping The Bars out Of Your Hands That Hapens Alot While Riding, And The Steering Stabilizer Isnt A Bad Idea Either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wood Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 i have a real stupid question,why flip the rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Because it will widen the front end 3 to 4 inches... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
