Do you mean wheel spacers? while a cheap way to gain width and handling on your quad, depending on the strength of the stock axle, if you go too wide, you run the risk of bending the axle if you do a lot of jumping , as you would in racing. I put 1" spacers on my son's 300 ex rear axle, it was good for years of trail riding, then he started doing jumps over field approaches in the ditch, ended up bending the axle right after the hub, the spacers put the load of the wheel farther out on the axle end, increasing the force applied to the end of the axle, kind of like using a crowbar to help you pull something apart,which can cause the axle to bend more easily. If you plan to race a lot, spring for the axle now, or you will most likely be pulling a bent stocker later.
