1'' spacers

Do you guys think that 1'' wheel spacers would hurt or wear anything prematurely w/ 27'' 10's and 12's (mudlites) on 12'' type 7's?

The more out from center your wheels and tires are from the hubs the more force is on the components. Bearings, tie rod ends, etc.

I agree w/ moose on extra wear. it might take awhile, but i think long term it would shorten the parts life. imo

I got 1" spacers on the rear of my scrambler but I dont think it hurts anything on a straight axle.

l was thinking the same thing about the 1" spacers for my wifes 500. Anything to make the machine as stable and harder to tip the more piece of mind l will have.
