Has anyone put any wheel spacers on a wolverine?
I have 26 in tires, which raises my center of gravity, I was hoping I could remedy this alittle
by putting on 2.5 spacers. I going up a hill off camber turn, hanging on like a snowmobile, but could not keep the wheels down, my quad look like a dead horse...luckly only rolled over once..

haven't really clocked it yet. but on long straight runs I can hang with warriors,,I am getting the jet kit , it has never bogged down on me olone , one time it bogged down,, i hung it up on a softhill climb, and there were two guys pushing down on front rack me on the bike and one guy on the back rack for traction,but that was about 800lbs going up hill, with no mods i can't complain, I did take out the baffle. the tires are 26x12x12 maxxis sure tracs

I won't lie to you i did lose some low end,I don't
pull anything. So that may make a difference to you. I was dissappointed with the power loss when i first go the tires. BUt i can cruise throught the woods and go thought anything that the other quads do. MY ground clearance is great,But the center of gravity is high also i rolled it once on the side of a hill...So you gain some and lose some..I use it for hunting and play,,,,I will say that if anything ever happens to my tires i will never go back down... The 26 's are here to stay. The type of tire will also matter, how wide and how heavy they are..I know i will have problems if i put 26 in super swampers or 26 vipers,,on my quad stock. The bottom line is it suits me,what is good for me may not be good for you...good luck...
