Hub Wheel Spacers

[nastyrider17]

Are the g-force wheel spacers any good?

How would the front ones compare to getting new a-arms?

Also, what 450r shocks are the best for an ex?

why would you want this? What type of riding do you do? looks to me if you mostly trail ride then you would be popping trees alot. I think people mostly do this to their MX quads.

And if it is for MX, why not just do it the right way and get +1 or +2 a arms and axle?

[nastyrider17]

I ride mostly trails. I would get the a-arms and axle if I had the money.

before u do it u should read the first sticky in steering and suspention it will explain why not to do it

I love my extended hubs.

Extended hubs imho are much more solid than spacers will ever be.

A spacer is NOT a good idea, they are weak no matter what anyone tells you.

Coming from the world of offroad trucks it was always a bad idea to run spacers if you run your truck hard, some dont listen and wound up with wheels going past them on the trail.

You want width, either go to a different offset tire or save up the bucks and pony up for the arms and axle.

im not ragging the rear exstended hubs those are nice looking, but the chance of bending the stock axle is greatly increased . if u are not doing big jumps there fine but using spacers or outward offset rims on the front should not be done

I remember seeing a guy post on here that used them for light MX racing and never had a problem.

Bkelly, those rear hubs look really nice.

What's the best a-arms for cheap?

[bkelley]

Probably Burgard. I got mine brand new off eBay for $200.

I couldn't find any of those. Could you get me a link?

Extended hubs=good. Spacers=not so good, especially on the front. I had spacers all around on my old quad and they wrecked the front wheel bearings from the added leverage.

Also, I decided to paint the inside of my G-Force hubs red to match my fronts.

Oh. What's a good used brand?

That looks nice with the red paint on your hubs. The new tires and rims look good too.
