Default Wheel spacers: Blaster

I was thinkin bout gettin wheel spacers for my blaster. there pretty inexpensive and i was a lil more stability in my quad. I would like to get aftermarket shocks but their just out of the question. but the only thing i can find is 1.5" spacers in front, and 2.5" spacers in back. i dont want the back to be wider than the front tho. mayb it would be but thats wht i want t know. also wht if i put the 1.5's on the front and flipped the rear rims? would that keep them even?

most likely, or you can flip all the rims and make the bike as wide as possible with wheel spacers

The front rims on the new 03-04 blaster's cant be flipped cause of the new disc brakes and valve stem locations and stuff like that.

You would be better off to find a banshee axel, it is a direct replacement for 2003 and up blasters. Wheel spacers will work up front, offset rims would be better, and longer a-arms would be best.

I put rear spacers on a old 400ex worked good. I turned the front rims around to make it wider it did, but at a price. the steering feels heavy and the inside turning isnt as sharp. ( you can get used to it) I turned the valve stem inside out the redrilled the rim on the other side put a air stem in there. what happens when you put spacers or turn the rims around in the front is the center of the rim isnt over the spindle any more its pushed out and that causes the heavy stering. hope this helps
