for my blaster i bought a set of durablue wheel spacers that make each side 2 1/2 inches wider and i also ordered some 18-11-8 turf tamers on douglas.190 rims.i heard the rims make each side 1 inch wider so the wheel spacers equal 5 and the tires 2 for a total of 7 inches.will this be to wide.i mostly ride on dirt tracks with jumps so i need a wide back end because i seem to tip easily.also what can i do to the front end to make it as wide as the back without buying a arms of flipping the rims?

i was thinking about aftermarket a arms.do you know where to find a fairly cheap set that includes all parts i would need.would wheel spacers be better then flipping the rims.i am about 110 pounds and jump maybe about 4 foot jumps,nothing major.would wheel spacers hurt anything,do they void my warranty.

+7" would be good for track. And you light enough and might just get away with using them in the rear. Just check them often.

There is no really good and cheap solution to making the frontend wider. The only way is longer a-arms. Try Krypton. They are cheap (if you call $400 cheap) and should hold up to track use.

if i were you, i would just sell it and get something more race oriented like a 250R or Banshee, if you really wanted to ride tracks... but thats just me.

I know a guy who extends a-arms for $140. He does really nice work and they all seem to be very durable. The only place you can even notice any work being done is on the tierods because they have a raised area.

ay dude if i was u i would just go for the extended a arms or sell those old one and try and buy some new ones. how old r. i have a 2000 blaster and i am around ur weight but those things seem way to small for me i am about 5'6. i am thinking about gettin rid of mine pretty soon and going for the 250r. but in ur case gettin a new pair of a arms would be the best advice it might pay off.
