How are wheel spacers? Durability? Quality? Worth it or not?

haha absolutely. they wear out tie rod ends very quickly. just unneed pressure on the front end. same thing with going with a huge offset rim. what do you race? i thought you have a kx190?

Im not sure about running them on the fronts, but i have run them on the rear for a full race season of mx on my 400 and never had a problem...Of course thats not to say you wont have problems, the one's i used were custom made out of aluminum and i repalced the spindles with Grade 8 bolts for extra strength.

Your best off going this way in my mind. Buying the a-arms and using spacers on the rear until you can afford an axle...I know its not the best method but if your a racer on a budget they make the world of difference on the track when you can't afford an extended axle.

that bolt idea is a great idea, i think i have a trade for a quadzilla lined up, do u know any way to make them work on the front and not be destructive? Becaus ei am BROKE
