PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 You can always flip your rims around so that the offset makes your shee wider. You have to put your valvestems on the other side of the front rims and then put a valvestem in the old holes upside down. It's the cheapest way to make a wider quad and I never had any problems with it (it was like that for atleast 10 years on a J-arm frame). My rears are still switched until I decide to spend the dough on an axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksmith Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Keep in mind that increasing the offset of your front tires will increase the leverage against your shocks, while doing the same in the rear will have no effect on your rear suspension. As such, you front end will be softer than the back, and your current balance between the front and back will be changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ DESERT RACER Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 (edited) My opiion is STAY AWAY FROM PLASTIC REAR SPACERS. I had a set on my stock axel to match my extended a-arms, and I shattered them. Not only was I out $80 but they also chewed out my lug holes and almost cost me a set of rims. Luckily I was able to fix the wheels by drilling new holes. If you get rear spacers, try the aluminum ones.
