You have 5 lugs.

 

sorry about that. I was talking about the dura blue wheel spacers. the ez fit ones or the graphite lite ones. I was checking my books and I seen that only the graphite lites are the only ones available for the quadracer. I herd that the ez fit ones would bend easy ( the stud extenders).

 

I had them on my Z before my arms and axle and they worked good. Just make sure they are tight and seated good. My axle bent way before the studs would.

 

My experience with Dura blue wheel spacers was a nightmare. I wouldnt recomend them to my worst enemy. I had a post about them a few months back and had the worst customer support and wheel spacers that sucked. I went ahead and purchased the sand sports, nice fab work and they are awesome!! They just bolt on and thats it, no trying to line things up like durablue.

 

See- www.sand-sport.com For a product review see- http://www.off-road.com/atv/reviews/...ts/sand-sport/ I ran Dura Blue way back when, and didn't leave them on for long. The sand-sport are made of aluminum. They are strong, and nicely machined. Be sure you get the newer ones that have the longer length studs (talk to John)!!

 

I understand there is going to be a big difference in the initial cost,,but I'd recommend a wider axel or a-arms over spacers.After they put extra stress where it wasnt designed to be,and wearing out/breaking/bending of these parts,,after considering this,the extra cost may make sence. And dont buy a duarablue axel [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

LT has a good point. Around here, we have an incredible variety of riding conditions. I use spacers because when we go to the desert or dunes, I can throw them on a TRAIL BIKE and instantly make it 4" wider. Then the next weekend, I can pull them off and have a bike that is back to trail bike width--the best of both worlds!! I would not recommend them for a MX machine or desert racer. But, when you start widening a bike, the cost starts to really add up: axel, a-arms, tie rods, new shocks, etc.
