how to make it wider

[ATC_KING]

were would a person go to make 200x wider for the smallest cost. what are the sizes i could make it? do different rims make a difference? :confused:

You could probably find a set of different off-set rims to make it wider, but I don't know what your rear offset is right now, or get a set of wheel spacers.

my rime right now are center. were do i find a cheap set of wheel spacers. the cheapest ive found is about $80.:confused:

what year 200x you have? If you have a 83-85 200x, get 400ex hubs and that will add ~3" width to the bike. Wheel spacers are a real good way to bend axles.

[ATC_KING]

yes i have a 85' i wheel extender i want will make it 5" more. how much for a set from a 400ex. how do they bend axles.

I've ran wheel spacers on multiple quads... and I have jumped them pretty far and had some rough landings. I've never had problems with them bending an axle or breaking anything.

ive have a set of 5'' spacers on a blaster and ive came off a jump ~10ft in air, and overshot it by about 15 feet landed rear first and it slammed my front down so fast it bent my banshee shocks on the front and the axel and spacers were fine..... luck maybe???

I ran spacers front and back. Broke the axle after a year. It would have broke sooner or lator I was getting 15+ air.

www.crjperformance.com are the strongest spacers made claimed for "motocross and jumping"

Put spacers on the rear and flip the front rims. You need shorter valve stems so teh stems clear the caliper. It will handel turns a lot better but make it less safe do to the extra leverage. If your a jumper dont go more than 3" wider total!!!!!

How do you flip the front rims on a three wheeler? :rolleyes:


Wheel spacers = Bad idea

Yeah, I also ran wheel spacers and mine never broke and I hit pretty good size jumps. You have to buy the spacers that are like a block type not the ones that go on each lug individually.

I just bought the g force hubs that are 1 3/4 " each side and seem to be really nice. They are aluminim and look just like hubs but extended out just put them on instead of using spacers. i have not jumped or anything with them though. if anything they will help with ruts and mud. I put them on my 400ex. Now it looks really mean. steve s

Yeah, I really want to get those G-force extended hubs from rocky mountain. They are not that expensive either. Thats definitely my next investment.

[honda400ex2003]

they are only like 80 dollars I believe. they're well worth the investment. they look cool too. steve s.
