i have read on hear and other sites as well as seen this before. its flipping the wheels. how much of a advantage does this have in the handling and stability? and it looks like the studs are to short to be able to flip the tires around and still be able to get enough thread to hold the tire on. my brother in law rides a 660 rappy and he switched his around but turned them back after i mentioned that it didnt look like the nut was threaded on very far. so just wondering if it would be ok to do this. is there longer studs you can get maybe? i gotta lot to learn yet sorry.

It would be ok if you changed the valve stem, FLipping your rims causes it to rub against the brake capliper or something liek that and eventually break right off.

yea the studs should be ok. the rim is the same width on the mounting spot on both sides. the biggest thing youll have to worry about is getting the valve stems on the outside of the wheel so it doesnt hit the caliper. just plug the old hole with inverted valve stems and drill holes on the other side and put new ones in the right way.
