Hello all, 2nd timer here.

I just resurrected a 1996 Bayou 220. It's running great and I have completely redone the exterior to make it look like new.

I bought some 1 1/2" studded wheel spacers (the ones that screw in individually) I was going to install them on all 4 wheels. What are ya'lls thoughts? With the Bayou being so light, I feel like it won't put too much stress on them, but wanted opinions.

Also, what's the best way to get these nice and tight. I held the brakes and turned them with a wrench, but just dont feel like that is good enough. Is there a torque attachment for these things? Below is what they look like. I have some loctite blue, thought that might help. Please help!
I already own them, but I might leave them off if the majority of you guys say they will be dangerous or unstable etc.

 

If anything I would of thought a wider wheel stance is safer and more stable.

 

I'm more worried about them coming loose or bending the factory studs. I think riding with them on will make it more stable around turns.

 

I put wider ones on a heavier fourwheeler and tightened them with an adjustable wrench and have been riding with them on trails for over a year and haven't taken them off or tightened them since and they are still on there good and aren't bent. I would say they will be perfectly fine.
