what type of riding are you going to be doing with them? what size jumps will you be hitting?

i had front wheel spacers on my 250ex, 3 inches wider, and i mainly rode trails on it and didnt jump any higher then say 3.5 feet up and they did fine. if your doing any kind of motocross DO NOT buy them. they would we fine for TT and flat track type racing.

this is the highest ive jumped with wheel spacers, and i wouldnt go to much higher because when you land its hard on everything.

also what kind of quad are the spacers going to be on?

well, i have NEVER supported running wheelspacers, but, i too have recently put aluminum wheel spacers on the front of my quad, just for temporary width until my LT comes, and i must say it does make it a lil harder to hold on to, but it works well too.

I race XC and have Durablue wheel spacers for the rear of mine.. They are +5 (+2.5 on each side) and I love them! You should be fine with them until the axle comes, I have used them for 3 races + alot of play riding, and they are still fine!!!

I have had wheel spacers on both ends of my quad. and i race MX, and havent had either break. in fact, i still have fronts on. and i run up near the front of the pack in B classes, so i do hit the jumps preaty good.... they work, but sooner or later either ur spindle or axle will give out.
