[fayt926]

so i tried to flip my rims and the fronts the valve stem hit the brake caliper i was thinking just drill new hole on the op side but then how to close off old hole is this how everyone does this also thoght about geting 90deg valve stems but not sure if they will clear the caliper either

Install stem inside out or flush mount stems.

I have been thinking about doing this to my Raptor but was wondering, what size hole do you drill for the new valve stems? Also, are you guys removing the tires by yourself? Just using tire irons?

Just looking for insight on how easy this is to do by myself in the garage. Thanks.

Not sure what size. I always just slid a drill bit in the original hole to see. You will have to break the bead down off the rim, but you don't necessarily have to pull the tire off to drill and install the new stem. If the tires are directional you just swap sides with them.
