Here is a picture of the wheel spacers I made for my son's atv.. I used 4 inch long 5/16 grade 8 bolts/locking nuts, and 3 inch pipe for the spacer.. All can be bought at your local Hardware store for under $20.. Then I recently threw some paint on the spacers to match the color of his atv..

their you go guys, TriplxXO7 has it with the exception that i installed another nut and washer at the end of the spacer to keep it in place when the wheel removed, also i would reccommend using 10.9 -14.9 grade bolts. i purchased 10.9 grade 8x1.25mm bolts and 10.9 grade nuts from boltdepot.com, the spacer rod i purchased from home depot and use a tubing cutter to cut it to lenght, then measured them to make sure they were all within .010 of each other,the ones i made are 2 years old now and we never had a problem with them, i added 2" to each side for a total of 4", these work go for kids 50-90cc atv's and cannot reccommend doing this for an adult quad, for the 110cc atc i used 7/16 bolt which threads are almost the same as the 10x1.5mm hub, and installed them from the back side of the hub into 7/16 threaded rod connectors, then used a 7/16 bolt for the lug bolt, this adds appox 1.5" to each side for a total width increase of 3".

 

Thanks fellows for the good idea. Gonna save a lot of money for several folks. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Bill, could you do this for a 150 too?

 

I would only do a "bolt style" spacer on a kid quad. Anything bigger or with an adult on board needs a solid spacer. You could have someone make one quite easily.

The bolts work, bu the will put allot of stress on the hub.

I would also add that you should use flange style bolt as this effectively doubles the contact area with the hub.

 

billl2099,


me too. can you email me the spacer plans.

thanks

I did the $12 longer-bolt-extra-nuts-wheel spacers on my daughter's sunl mini 110... huge improvement and cheap. I wouldn't trust it on a larger quad, or with a heavier rider (she's like 50 pounds or so), but on a small quad that is used for running the dirt trails at less than 15 mph... best money I spent so far (besides the helmet, goggles and gloves... grin)

 

We have a 90cc sunl and we would like to know how to make spacers for it .
