I wouldn't recommend that. It will eat wheel bearings alive and make your turning harder to boot. I'd suggest getting some offset wheels to make it a few inches wider or buying some wheel spacers. The best bet would be some longer A-arms and wider axle but I don't know if you can get aftermarket A-arms for a Wolv? I've never been interested enough to look for them myself.

Yeah.. wheel spacers would be the cat for you. They're relatively inexpensive .. you can get the full ring spacers (which I think would be the best option .. nice and strong) or you can get stud extenders. The stud extenders are the cheaper of the two.

I'd like a set for my Warrior, but it JUST fits in through the shed door as it is .. ... time for a bigger shed I guess [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
