Well, i took the cheap road to widen my front end by buying billet wheel spacers. they seem solid, however, after the install, i noticed that the offset of the stock rims would even make the front WIDER if i flipped them around. all in all, i got 7 and a half inches total by setting it up like this.. has anyone ever ran their wheels like this? if so, is there any steering problems i might run into? thanks.

I bet your bumpsteer will be magnified by 20 times.....also it is hard on ball joints ......
Make sure the valve stem clears the brake caliper on the inside of the wheel or you will end up with a couple flat tires.

I have +2 arms and flipped my wheels also. I only ride sand and don't notice any "bumpsteer" or feedback. I drilled another hole on the inside of the wheel and put a stem in backwards in the original hole so it would not hit the calipers.
I also run '86 TRX250R arms on the front of my golf cart with the wheels flipped and we beat the crap outta the cart and I have had no problems with the ball joints yet. The cart gets more ride time than the bikes because everybody in camp rides it. here is a pic of my cart. [attachmentid=15053] |

what kind of motor in that cart? i have a 250r motor that would be sick in it but a 500r motor would be better suited.

if you do a SEARCH.. like some people forget to do... *angel* you will find a thread on this, its ok to do this, but it exposes your brakes and brake callipers to the sand... and all the other junk you do not want hitting those brakes... the offset of the wheel on the stock offset is so the brakes stay hidden from rocks and trees and sand and such... but if you dont care about your front brakes then go for it
