Is it such a good idea to put wheel spacers in the front or better to turn the rims around. I do jump but do mostly woods riding. I was planning on getting the stud type wheel spacers. What are your opinions?

 

i ride same as u .. i trail ride with small air . i have had sand sport wheel spacers on it now for over a year . sofar there is no problem that includes a few tree shots lol. i tried to flip the wheels man it sucked ,, the bump steer waz VERY bad

 

if u flip the wheels around u have to make sure the air valve doesnt hit the front disc break mounts

 

I stretched the front and back axles on my 02 raptor. In open space I can curve at higher speeds than anyone I ride with but on the trails I get off the path quite easy but I will never change it.

 

Anyone try the stud type spacers? Supposed to add 1" to each side. Or would the billet ones be better?

 

the stud spacers are alot less strong then the billet ones. The ones from durablue are the ones i use and i havn't had any problems. I didnt even notice the "bump steer'' at all. I dont do any jumps but alot of trail riding and just playing around and i havnt had a problem with them at all.

 

i have billet 2 1/2 each side in the rear and jump all the time. great deal for the $.

 

Is it ok to run wheel spacers in the rear.I am thinking about having a some 1 inch spacers fabbed to run all the way around.Any suggestions.I will ride trails alot and be doing alot of jumping.Any help would be appreciated.

 

Tell you what, I've been useing the "Stud" type spacers for over 2 years and have raced MX and jumped my quad more than most people do and have NEVER had a problem bending or breaking anything. For anyone to say theyre not strong is PURE CRAP. You dont know what your talking about. JMHO[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Buy the alum. style!! Much better fit over the durablue.
