Greg

Hmm... no I didnt know you can switch them! I can do the fronts myself I just had them do the rears while it was at the dealer, Im glad you brought that up Greg, Thank you!! I thought about putting chains on the front and rear cause I have two drive ways to maintain during winter (and summer) and one is all up hill and fairly steep, but I looked at the front tires and decided that there wasn't enough room for the chains but now there might be when I switch them!

Anyone running chains on fronts and backs?
(I know, I know do a search.... LOL)

Just my :2cents: but I don't think you need to flip the fronts...

Chains on the front is heavily debated here on TBN-my gut feeling is that they are usually not needed...

Just got back with my new arms installed and tire's set to wide position, here are some pics.....

how much wider by switching you wheels, make it and are your valve stems now on the inside

Switching the fronts on a 2520 will gain you nothing at all - trust me, I tried it.

I think I gained like 1" to 1 1/2" on both sides, I think... havent measured yet but Ill measure today and see.
The valve stems are on the inside now but I can deal with that, if you want them on the out side you would have to bust the rims off the tire's and switch them around.

Well sounds like im not gonna switch the fronts, thanks for the heads up!!:thumbsup:

Ok, am I missing something here. Unless the valve stem is on the tire, changing the tire on the rim will not put the stem on the outside.

You know.... your right! I guess I didnt think about this that much!
Sorry for the incorrect info fellas! MY BAD!:confused2:

Only way would be to have split rims I guess.... right???

Its alright. These little mistake is usually cause by '' information overload '' :confused2:
