I would like to add some wheel spaces and some wider tires to increase the footprint of this bike. What brand of spacers, tires and rims should I use and where is the best place to purchase them? Any other suggestions would be appreciated. This bike seems to be a little to "tippy" and my son has dumped once already. My hope is the spaces and tires/rims will help this somewhat.

Gary- White brothers has killer prices on wheels (Douglas). Otherwise Rocky Mountain ATv will be the place to get'em cheap. Rocky will also be the best prices for G-Force wheel spacers.

Hello an welcome. Hows your little 50 running guess pretty good if you want to fix it up some. I done a good bit of stuf to my sons its been pretty fun. well for wheel spacers I would look on ebay they sell them everyday for buy it know for 40.00 for the front and 40.00 for the back. and for wheels and tires recreation tires sells a kit its douglas wheels with 16x6.5x8 shreeder tires for 184.00. dont buy the bigger tires trust me there to big. go with the 8x6 front wheel and 8x7 rear wheel and the same tires whole way around looks great. if you want to see what it looks like with the tires and stuff give me your email ill send you pics. There website is recreationtires.com.

As it turns out RMATV does not sell gforce for the minis, sorry bout the bad info. They do sell the dura-blue rear spacers 2.5" per side for $64.99.

Where can the durablues be obtained from? I think I will try these on the quad instead of the "bolt extenders"
