I have seen a few guys with extended wheel hubs at some of the out door events we go to. How do they perform and who sells them? I have a banshee I am working on turning it in to a motocross machine. Would extended hubs be a good idea?

 

they call them wheel spacers. there is the block stile and the stud style, definatly get the block stile, I know highlifter sells them i dont know if its the most competitive price. I got my 1.5" billet ones on ebay a few years back. gives my wolverine a 3" wider stance which is night and day in handling especially with the 25" tires.

 

I thought the non-block style are better/cheaper?

 

I am familiar with wheel spacers. But on occasion I have actually seen the hubs that are extended. Instead of being flat they kind of have a cup shape.. Not sure if I am making since but I cant find much info about these.

gotcha, havent seen those. Usually if people dont want spacers (on 2x4 atvs) they go with a durablue + axel and longer A-arms

 

That would be the best way to go but I have a limited budget I am working with. A new axel is like $300 or so. Right now I would rather go with some new pipes for that kind of money. I tried the wheel spacers that just extend studs, they are crap!! Do you think I could get away with a block style spacing in the back of about 3 inches per side.

 

RMATV's G-force axle is 200 bucks.

They also sell G-force extended hubs. IMO a better choice than spacers for durability and quality, though obviously less desirable than an extended axle.

 

G-Force!! Thanks!! I will look them up. So far I havent been able to find squat on the net about them.

 

Why are there wheels that have offsets increased to do the same as the wheel spacers. It seems like 1 1/2 offset would be alright and you would get another set of wheels for not much more than the darn expensive billet spacers I have seen for sale.
