Wheel spacers

[2001 Wolverine]

Was wondering if anyone has put wheel spacers on wolverine? thinking about 1.5 or 2 all around make it less tipsy. wife has 2000 polaris trailboss and it is 4" wider stock and much better for hilly trails. Just wondering how steering might be affected? thanks

It will increase bump-steer a bit but shouldnt be too bad. You could always get new wheels with a different offset too.

thanks stock wheels seem fine. would the 660 raptor shocks make any difference or help with bumpsteer? finding on ebay pretty cheep

No, the shocks dont affect bump steer....bump steer is caused by wheel spacers.

Scratching my head. I'm sure I know but what is Bumpsteer?

Bumpsteer is steering not inputed from the rider. The farther away the centerline of a wheel is from the axis of the spindle, the more bumpsteer you get. Think of it kinda if your tierods were set at different lengths, making one wheel want to go in another direction.

Thought so, the zillas I put on causes thaT especially when they are soft. Under 5.5 lbs air
