4-1 Front Wheel Question
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Sjorge300EX

I have 4-1 front wheels on my 300ex right now. I race XC and dont really want or have the cash to get extended arms. I was wondering if it will help me to flip the wheels??? Also I have a denton stabilizer.

I wouldn't do it. Racing XC will porbably damage your exposed rotors! Not a preety sight!

Why did you go with 4:1 wheels for the 300? You must be about 40" wide. I'd go back to the stock offset and then put some +2's on if you want to run 4:1's.

i didnt put them on, they were on when I bought it

. I am getting some new tires soon and they will be put on new rims. Do you really think that I would hit something on my caliper???

if its exposed then yes.....the kinda stuff i ride it would get ripped off/torn up in under 20 minutes

what kind of rims are they, from a pic of yours in another thread they don't look like 4:1 offset. But if they are 4:1 I can't imagine flipping them around, for one it would look ridiculous and as already said your brakes and rotors would have no protection and it would handle like crap

If you have 4-1 fronts and want to go wider just trade someone for some 3-2 fronts. Most xc guys would be happy to trade straight up with you.
