Wheel Spacers - Good or Bad?!?

[zx10r203]

I have been seeing a lot of quads with wheels spacers.  From what I know wheel spacers are a bad idea in cars, but quads are a totally different beast.  What do you guys think about wheel spacers??

Pros, Cons, which are good if one was to buy a set?!? You know, the good, the bad, and the ugly about spacers.

From what i hear there ok if you not going to be jumping. I think there is extended hubs that are better than the spacers.

Check Rocky Mountain ATV, they have a set of G Force Rear Wheel Hubs that I plan on adding on pretty soon.  Friend of mine has a pair, and says their a great product.

I ran GeForce spacers on the rear of my 660 for about a year. No problem at all, but I don't get huge air. Really improved the stability in the sand. I rolled it, flipped it, and did some pretty aggressive riding in muddy, rocky, rutted, typical northwest woods riding and never had a problem with the wheels spacers. I really miss my 660. 

I tried the front spacers, but they gave too much bump steer. Got rid of them.

I have the F-force extended rear hubs and have beat the SNOT or of them and have had no problems.....knock on wood.

I would do hubs on the rear, but I would not use anything cheap on the front end. It will put more leverage on all the joints and wear them out pre-maturely. Not to mention more bump steer.

Wheel spacers are a great alternative...if you are not going to be riding really hard MX. Heck, I just bought the cheap studs that bolt on and they held up to a week of jumping at little sahara. I was sure I would bend one. I have them on because my paddles came on narrower offset wheels than the front.

I have front 1" aluminum and rear 2" aluminum spacers from Magic Racing . 0 problems just got back from a 700 mile ride in Baja. They have been in sevice for over 2 years on both my sons and my quad. Solid billit and very strong.

Sorry to bring back an old topic but what do you guys think about the SRP Billet Spacers?

I like them for the rear, but not the front, puts too much pressure on the steering and spindles. Makes the steering twitchy.

Oh, I only see a red x

I like those. More common for side by sides and utilities.

What do you guys think about the Durablue EZ-Fit??

[BRAD]

Durablue is a good brand for spacers.  I almost bought a set of them awhile back when I was considering widening the Rappy out some.

I like the other style. CAn be removed quickly for different setup.

[zx10r203]

The time for removal is not an issue.  I usually have my setups done the night before. The thing for me is strength mostly.  I won't be doing any jumping, mostly sand and trail riding.
