fail.
you cant talk blair im sure you used to run 6.5J not too long ago!
should be fine but just keep in mind of a bearing failure. also wheels studs are put under a bit more stress. the actual wheels should be fine.
i was going to do this on my car at one stage but it was a little too much offset for the guards so i went normal side up and used spacers instead.
Yeh i ran 6.5 +6... NOT flipped!
from the looks of it... those wheels would of been more like +25
and are now more like -50.
it may look a little silly but would have epic track i guess....
i really don't understand why people even bother doing this, it just seems like such a hassle especially when you have to jump on here or on google to make sure its safe! just save up and buy some decent wheels with the dimensions and offset you so badly crave.

this is what mine looked like when i tested them flipped
tyre is 185/65
bump steer is another issue
can you get some exact figures of the wheels. both unflipped and flipped.
take the following measurements:
exact distance from the edge to edge of the rim, NOT the tire bead
exact distance from the mounting face to the inside edge of the wheel (NOT the tire bead) for both the unflipped and flipped states.
i will do it up in solid works. and show you the effects.
AJPS: this has no effect on bump steer at all. you are thinking about scrub radius issues.
