Another question- Extended Wheel Spacers

[beastlywarrior228]

dude just get the spacers for the back there 2.5" on each side im actually thinking about milling mine down a bit

 

[jareddd96]

im still deciding

I vote the wheels so you will always have a spare, but thats just me.

 

[jareddd96]

if i find a good priced stock warrior wheel i'll definitely go for them.. but could flipping them cause any chance of anything breaking?

 

[tyler]

No way it would be tougher than wheel spacers.

 

[jareddd96]

ok thats what i thought

 

[tyler]

Well i sure would think sine its using the same holes and everything as stock.

 

[jareddd96]

yea i think the only thing that it could possibly have more wear on would be the axle which is very hard to bend..

 

[yamarider]

Widening the rear with any method still using the stock axle will increase the chance of bending it due to the extra leverage put on it. Unlikely though, the wheels usually bend before the axle does.

The warrior wheels might give you an inch or two but it won't be the 4 inches that they give on the warrior, the raptor's axle is shorter stock due to the offset of the wheels.

For the money, the G-Force axle seems like the safest route to widening the rear to me. Not only due to the strength and warranty on it, but also because you can sell that stock axle and recoup some of your investment, or keep it and sell the g-force if/when you sell the 350. I guess it depends on how much you ride and how hard you ride, but with spacers or offset wheels you could end up not only bending your wheels and needing new ones, but you could also end up needing a new axle anyways. I bet you could make about an $80 profit on ebay selling the stock one if you clean it up nice, just something to think about, offsets the price so it's almost like getting a new aftermarket axle for $120!

 

[jareddd96]

not a bad idea.. when i bent my last axle i shoulda just bought that instead of a stocker

 

[tyler]

how did you bend it?

 

[jareddd96]

crashed it a while back

 

[tyler]

Oh what happened?

 

[jareddd96]

riding home on a road on the way back from riding at night time and i was passing my friend on his quad he kinda swerved at me a lil so i swerved a little and my back tire nicked a parked car and i rolled

 

[yammirider]

[jareddd96]
