Default wide 250ex

right now im working on gettin my quad alittle wider, i know theres back spacers but whats a legit website for them and for the front what a-arms would fit and whats a good website for them. I also heard people switching and rotating the front wheels so the air valve faces inside, i did that but the valve hits the brack rator and i like front breaks so i switched the wheels back.

so basically;
website for a-arms
website for rear wheel spacers

THANKS

Dura-Blue makes 1.5 " spacers that will fit, I believe. If you want to reverse the rims, you have to drill a new valve hole on the original inside of the rim and plug the original valve hole on the outside. Then they will clear the rotors. Good luck.

Seems I've heard you can get a lot of "bump steer" with spacers... Any truth to that?

DuraBlue makes rear and front wheelspacers I hear they are the best on the market. Don't get the front ones though I hear they are not to good. they will mess with your handling alot. but rear ones are fine. For the front I recommend longer A arms. Hope this helps. You can get 2.5'' on the rear thats a total of 5'' in the rear that should be plenty for any quad.

I have the Durablue spacers on my EX250 . . . 1.5" in the front and rear. Bought them at a parts shop called "Dycorp" in Anaheim, CA. I like it a lot better - haven't noticed anything different with the handling. Your post was the first I've heard about handling problems - yikes! I have heard that you shouldn't get spacers if you're going to be doing a lot of jumping though. I just wanted a little wider wheel base so I won't roll over as easy.

I have heard that the rear is good to widen but the front is not so good. You should do the A arms instead.
