will wheel spacers and 18's help handling?

[BoMbEr416]

i didnt have the money for a-arms and axle so i just ordered wheel spacers all around and 18x9.5 fast trekkers for the rear for my 400ex. will this help me alot for MX? or will the wheel spacers screw up my handling more.

ick wheel spacers on the front are not a good idea, it put more stress on your spindles and stuff, and you're risking bending one of them, and they are over a hundred dollars to replace if i remember right.

yeah, spacers are a bad idea. The guy that had them on my 400ex. They stripped and bent the studs. It could have screwed up other stuff, but luckily it didnt. I threw the spacers in the garbage, because they are EVIL.

thanx guys, i already orderd them, hopefully i can cancel my order. is there anything i can do besides a-arms to help me out a little bit? i KNOW i need a-arms but i dont have extra money to go out and buy them.

Spacers for the back is a little different, but it is still bad. If I had to pick what to use it on would be only the back. If you cant cancel your order maybe try and sell them. I would just save up for sum a-arms, and axle. I am in the same deal right now, I need my quad wider but I dont have the cash. So I am just gunna wait and do it proper.
