Is it possible to make reversible wheels so that the wheel could be bolted on either side of it? To help camber wear on tires too, maybe...
Good idea or no?

Would be cool to paint each side a different color.

lol yea some zero offset 2peice wheels would be cool to do this with.. or like a 10 or 15 offset for some crazy stagger.. but i think it would be more work then what its worth.

why...
the wheels would suck at life.
if you REALLY Want to do it. just go buy some steelies and put them on backwards.. lol
but regardless... this is a common mod for atv's
flip the front wheels around. keeps the atv more stable around corners and durring braking while turning.
just get 2 sets of really nice wide wheels. and if you need them to wear on the other side. get the tires dismounted and remounted
or just get adjustable arms and run 1 degree or a half degree lol

yeah... people do this all the time with radials. if you are using directional tires, then you would have to rotate them to the other side of the car so the direction stays correct, otherwise you will have some crappy handling, especially in the rain.
but with radials, its ok to have the tire flipped. the only difference is the lettering. there are white letters on one side and black on the other.
ok, would explain more. have to go to work.

its toe wear not camber.
I think he does mean camber wear since camber wear is uneven wear. Toe wear is usually pretty even as long as camber is 0ish...

Yea, camber is what i mean.
And yes to those pix ^. That car looks beastly. Wonder if the wheels are on there sturdy enough.

those wheels are on the proper direction, not backwards as mentioned before.

:eeek: OMG I LOVE THAT CAR.
I'm a huge fan of the Road Warrior aesthetic... that thing is so hardcore. :goodjob:
I'd rock the hell out of that car.
And that's a damn deep dish, but is it actually inside out? Looks almost too deep to go on the other way, but them, ehh... I guess not.
I'm loving that fairing or whatever on the rear windows... what would that be called... I dunno, but it's damn hot.
That treatment on the exhaust is sexe too... I'd love to see that shooting some flames. Not sure about the way it's put together though, looks like a big'ol bottle neck at the base there.

oh
gotcha
i was thinking tires.
my bad
cool idea. do it.
and if you use directionals, just put them on the other side of the car, problem solved.
just make sure the direction is right

Too late, a hatchi guy flipped the centers of his 3 piece wheels already. Looks homo and will fuck up your shit.
