My Wolverine was stock until I ran into a set or '01 Grizzly aluminum wheels and tires, brand new take offs, for $100.
So when I put them on the front had 1 1/2 inch more offset which made my front 3 inches wider than stock, and the 25 inch tires made it a inch taller.
It felt a little more stable than before but my front was 3 inches wider than my back because the back wheels had about the same offset as my stock ones.
I ordered a set if 1 1/2 inch wide tracs spacers from Highlifter and put them on the back to equal the front offset.
It felt a lot more stable but I didnt realize how much till me and my friend with a stock Wolverine went riding and kept swapping between the 2. We was both amazed how much a mere 3 inches will add to stability. And it would have been more if it didnt raise it an inch too. Neither of us could believe how much difference 3 inches width could make in the feel of a quad.

OhHell, I to can attest to the difference a wider wheelbase makes on a quad. Amazing difference in my Warrior with wider axle and spacers!
