rear axle + rims=50'' best setup?

[airman88]

i am looking to get exactly 50'' out of my rear end on my 400ex. my friend is running the g-force axle on his with 8" rims and he is at 49.5 with the axle all the way out. then he put on a set of 9'' rims and was at 51.5''. so then he took a one inch spacer out of each side on his axle and was back at 49.5'' i was wondering if there was any way to get that extra half and inch or if it was even worth the trouble for the half inch. i dont want to run 10'' either.

He might be running an 8" rim, but what size tires is he running? A wider tire alone would do this.

i dont think going from 49.5 to 50 will make any noticable difference. im at 49.5 with laeger +3 and 9" hipers
