Chadd,


Have you seen any problems with 1" wheel spacers? Steve just got some for his quad....remember he had wheel rub.

1"? That's pretty wide.... Wouldn't he want steel wheels anyway? Id buy new rims.... elliminate the spacers and sell the old ones on eBay.

1 Inch is pretty big but will work. Did he get them from Highlifter? Just keep an eye on the Wheel bearings and Make sure to keep the nuts tight if they come loose the bearings will self destruct.

He got them from the Polaris dealer. Not sure where they ordered them. They're machined aluminum....they look nice.


You mean the lug nuts?

He thinks it's a little harder to turn....but hard to tell...so I guess it's not bad. He has 27" Mudlites....but the lighter aluminum rims...so I think it helps.

He had no problems and no major difference on the trail...other than fitting on my trailer! :shock:
