I just wanted to know if the graph-lite wheel spacers would hold out on a 250EX. They will only be used for motocross. Can they take the jumps if I come up short or something? Dont want to waste cash if they will break. thanks

Also, I dont want to flip my rims or anything and noone makes extended a-arms for the 250EX.

The wheel spacers will probably hold if it's on a 250EX, the graphlites have been known to break under severe use on the track, i don't know of anybody who sells a arms for the 250ex yet. Why don't you want to flip your rims?

The wheel spacer are alright for the front but the back to much stress on axle causing to snap. But should be alright for front, invest in an extended axle for rear.

Used to have wheelspaces in the back when I had my Blaster. Rode it for a year without any problems (they were 6cm on each side, don't know how much inches that are ;) ) then it got stolen....

If you do alot of jumping or VERY agressive riding I wouldn't recommend them but go for an aftermarket-axle instead.

I thought about going to wheel spacers, but I just got offset rims in the front and I am very pleased with them. They are Douglas .160's.

To offset the rear, eventually I am going to get the Durablue +2 axle.
