Since I recently picked up my 87 LT250r, I have been noticing some things that seem a little different.. I am in the process of crawling all over this thing making sure its sound.  In doing so, I found that my LT seems a little wider than most.  I am not sure if the rear axle is stock or aftermarket.  It still has the 5 stud spindles, but looks a little too chromed for stock.  If the rear rims are flipped, they did a good job covering the valve stem hole up.

The front seems wide too.  The front rims appear to be flipped. 

Is there any advantages/disadvantages to being really wide like this?  Does the flipping of the rims in the front put alot of stress on the front end components?  I noticed the camber off.  If I do the camber mod, and continue to use the flipped rims, would this put even more stress on the ball joints, etc?

Any pics?
