When you order them, the dealer should tell you which one is for your bike. EZ fit have stud extenders that go onto your existing studs. You should be able to install them in ten minutes. Most 4X4 atvs use the EZ fit. The graph lite use bolts and nuts and replace your existing studs, and this is usually used on sprot bikes. The take a little longer to install.

I have ez fits on my SP500. This is how it was explained to me.

I am getting durablue wheel spacers also and I called Durablue Directly. They said that the exzit are a litte better because you do not need to remove the pressin stud... This allows the e-z fits a ,humm how should i say, rest on the stud. while the graphlites you have to take the stud out. The are both made out of the same material... check out www.durablue.com

Actually I should be getting them today.. WHOOO HOOO!!!

O ya the guy said he has never heard of one braking unles you stack them...put more than one on each wheel..

Darn I didn't get them today

I had DuraBlue Graphlite spacers on my Blaster. They lasted about 2 months before they cracked. I got a set of aluminum ones for my 350X, They never btoke, but I Bent my stock axle when I clipped a tree.

The only time I have ever heard of the Durablues cracking is when they were installed improperly. You have to be careful to completely bottom out the stud extenders.

Both sets of mine required me to punch out the studs, and use long bolts to hold the whole thing on.

I got them mail order. I think it was from Dycorp. I am not sure though. I thought the Aluminum ones were DuraBlue. They were exactly the same shape as the Blaster graphlite, so I just assumed they are DuraBlue.
