Aside from wheel spacers which I'd like to avoid due to additional weight, is there any way to widen my '01? Any wider axles or hubs or higher offset wheels? Thanks!

 

The wheel spacers are junk anyhow and aren't recommended for use while jumping and pretty much riding...It is a rigged way of widening the rear...The only company I could think of would be durablue, but they only have a wider axle for 04-07 models and don't see anything for 00 -03 for widening the rear...You prob could find some offset wheels for the ds and thats what I would recommend or get someone to machine your hubs and use a different bolt pattern to use yamaha or honda and see if they have any better offsets.

 

Why make it wider? These are wide enough as is I think, make em too wide and they won't fit anywhere but the dunes and desert.
