Default Wider Blaster Front End?

I widened the back of my Blaster with Banshee wheels and the spacers/bolt pattern adapters. This made the back end significantly wider (something like 4 in.) So now the front is too narrow. I use the quad for trail riding and a couple weeks ago was riding on some private land with no real trails. The stability of the machine isn't that bad, eventhough the front is now too narrow for the back end. I know i can use spacers in the front, but i already have too much trouble with sticks heading for the front brakes and if I use spacers, i think that problem will get worse. Also, could i use Banshee front wheels? Are they a different offset? Last resort would be new front suspension altogether. I know it could use better front shocks, but i don't really have the money right now to throw down on new front shocks and wider a-arms. Any suggestions?

You can flip the fronts without the stems hitting, but its a pain in the azz. Maybe some off set rims might be in order.
