Wheel Spacers??

[BRAD]

I dont know if this should go under the suspension catefory or what. But what do you guys think the best brand for wheel spacers is??  Im lookin into gettin some in a few weeks after i get back from vacation. And im wanting to get some early research done on them

Thanks, Brad

I never looked at front spacers. I didn't get that far.

But for the rear I was looking at the extended hubs(from ge-force) vs spacers.

I know Geforce makes some top quality stuff, worth the look though.

I own G-Force stuff.

For the cost, the rear axle G-Force has is nice, but you'll need the G-Force wrench to tighten it. I've heard the axle nut loosens up after a bit, so you'll need to keep it tight.

u have been lookin at the Gforce extended hubs for the rear. and the Gforce spacers for the fronts. i figured some of you may have know some other good brands out there

The extended hubs are sweet.

Aluminum construction!

those were the only ones that really caught my eyes.. for the price of the extended hubs I went new axle.

[BRAD]

i believe i seen them the other day for $80 a set for the rear. but i may have read that wrong and it been $80 a peice

[Krandall]

Yeah, from Rockymountain they are I believe $140 for a set.

I would go with the extended hubs!!  They look like some top notch stuff   I had to buy spacers for my sons 250    But at least it'll widen it out a bit.  He's not much of a jumper yet so he should be fine.  Anyone know off hand if the bolt patterns are the same for the 250 and the 660??  Or even the axle splines being the same??

When using front wheel spacers is bump steer increased?
Anyone have anything to post we can read?

www.diamondjcustoms.com has a widening kit, are there any known benefits to this kit as far as bump steer is concerned?   1 obvious advantage would be the time it takes to narrow up the quad again if needed for a weekend ride, what am I missing?

I have front spacers and I've not noticed anything.

Well gents!  I got the spacer's on the rap250 lastnight and What I found stupid was the fact you can only get 1.5" for the front and the rears are 2.5"  I got the all on and looked at the damn quad and was like WTF, the rear end is wider.  When I ordered I figured alright, if the front is already wider than the rear than the available spacers will even everythng out do I wasn't to concerned anyhow. 

I had to reverse the front rims to get everything to even out.  I am a little concerned with the front calipers being so exposed though.  Any of you fella's out there have your rims reversed and have the same exposure problem, doesn't really matter what kind of quad it is.  Have you had any issues with trail riding like this???   I'm gonna have to find my damn camera and post up some pics!!  I have to say that the 250 damn near looks like a 450 when it's widened out, well to the untrained eye anyway!!

  to the untrained eye.



My bro on his 250x had his fronts reversed w/ the calipers exposed. We never had any issues and did strictly woods/ditch riding.

Cool!!  good to know Krandall    I have to build him some stuff for it still, bumpers and a few odd's and end's.  Can't even get nerfs until July    Atleast it'll be ready for ice season this year
