Wheels have to have drop centers for tire mounting. This is the lip that you see on the inside half.
Unless the center is attached in the middle of the drop center, which means the wheel has a stepped lip from the factory, chances are you won't be able to flip the wheel.

Also the wheel must be bolted together in this order to be able to flip it:
outer/center/outer
and not:
outer/outer/center like many 3-piece wheels are.

I hope this helps.
