Default Wheel spacer/tires/axles

We just got our boy a 2004 TRX 90 and while it has MORE than enough power for him I think I would like to make it a bit wider (aka more stable in the woods). I been looking around and there is not a lot of rim options but there are some wheel spacers out there that may just work. I was looking at 2" full Alum. styles (not just nuts with a stud) - The cost is HIGH ($220) but if they save him from tipping it is worth it to me. So you have any suggestions on where to get a set cheaper and is there another option I am missing. Also for those that have used spacers (I have not) - do I need to be concerned with bump steer, or any thing else by using them? I really dont want to spend $300 for a rear axle then another $400 for a front 300 ex kit some other ideas would be great
Thanks

I bought my aluminum wheel spacers (Yamaha Raptor 80) from

http://www.weirdharoldscoolparts.com/ATV%20Spacers.htm


they where cheaper but beware it took a number of phone calls and a few months to actually get them to send the parts. I assume that they have the bolt pattern for the honda. I would also recommend offset rims and a set of holeshot style tires. I have installed these on our Raptor 80 also and with the spacers it handles great (there is a little bit of bump steer). I thought I have seen that they make a front "A" arm extension kit or longer "A" arms for the honda. check ebay. this might be a better, but probably more expensive option than the spacers.
