Default Best way to widen stance on Brute?

What do you guys think. I love my Brute mainly because of the power of the V. The ride fatigues me very little (can easliy ride twice as many miles as previous Foreman). But I do need to widen her up a bit. I was looking at spacers but that looks like ~$160 or so for 4. Maybe ITP C4 wheels but I am unsure of how much they will offset the front and rear. Any help appreciated. Thanks

I went with the itp c-series wheels with 12" wide rear tires and 10" wide fronts and I gained approx 6 inches on the rear and 4 inches in the front due to the extra tire width and the 1 inch spacing on the wheels.

Way too wide in my opinion. Lots of trails around that would be a problem to get through with that kind of added width. I put 1" spacers on mine, and it works great. I'd recommend going that way.

Thanks for the weigh in guys. What do you think on the spacers? 1 or 1.5 inch if I go that way. Highlifters or Xtreme Products?

There is another alternative to wheel spacers that cost almost half. My buddies and I have been using these on our Prairies and now have them on our Brute Forces. We have never had any problems with them even running 27" and 28" tires. The spacers are made by crjperformance.

ITP C series on mine and the rear just fits on a 4 ft wide trailer.

I too went with the ITP Wheels, Type 4. Then I stayed with the 12x9x12 Mudlite Front & the 12x10x12 Mudlite rear, I am finding this to be the prefect set-up.

Some of the guys in my club that ride BF750 just use the 660 Grizzly wheels (aftermarket) which comes with a wider offset but still stays tucked under the fenders. Made a huge difference in stability. I still have the crappy stock set up for now.
