Got my 1.5" spacers last night from High Lifter.

http://www.highlifter.com/product.php?pk=7367&pname=


They look VERY sturdy (thick machined Aluminum) and come with chrome lug nuts to boot.

Will put them on tonight.

Default Sportsman Wheel Spacers??

I appologize for being slightly off-topic here, but does anyone know if longer wheel studs are available? I have 26" XTRs on my 07 500 X2 (aluminum wheels) which were VERY close to hitting the tie rod ends. I have used 3 or 4 stainless steel washers to space the wheels out about 3/16", which eliminates the possibilty of rubbing. I'd say there was probably around 3/8" threaded stud length left for the lug nuts. I've been running this set-up for almost a year with no issues, and I've run the machine through everything. Deep snow with all 4 wheels churning like mad included. I would however feel better if my lug nuts had more bite on the lugs. I don't want to add spacers because if I did, there's no way the quad would fit between the wheel wells in the back of my truck.

Thanks
