I am thinking about geting a +4.5 in front widening kit, and 2 inch rear wheel spacers for the rear for my 05 250ex. Both from Diamond J Customs. I would like ur opinions about if they hold good.

I don't have the kit either, but I've read just about every post that mentioned them. I am still considering the kit.
Two opinions on this forum:
From people that don't have them - 98% hate them
From people that do have them - 98% love them.

I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF THE DIAMOND J WIDENING KIT. FOR THE MONEY I THINK IT MIGHT BE WORTH A SHOT. IT COULDN'T DO MUCH HARM, AND YOU COULD ALWAYS GO WITH NEW A-ARMS IF IT DID NOT WORK OUT FOR YOU.
HOWEVER, I WOULD STEER COMPLETELY CLEAR OF WHEEL SPACERS UNLESS YOU ARE HANDY AT REPLACING BENT AXLES!! YOU ARE BETTER OFF GOING WITH A WIDER WHEEL/TIRE COMBO THAN A SPACER. TRY THE 9X9 ITP T-9'S WITH THE 3+6 OFFSET AND 20X11X9 INCH TIRES. THEY WILL NET YOU ABOUT THE SAME RESULT AS 2" REAR WHEEL SPACERS, AND THEY ARE MUCH MORE STABLE!!

no ,going with bigger offset wheels to make it wider is harming it the same as the wheel spacers.its the leverage on the axel that would bend it.i run spacers and get alot of air ,never any trouble.the spacer will never break.as for as wheels stick with the stock or beadlocks.maybe think before you post.your welcome

YOU COULDN'T BE MORE WRONG. THE SPACER MOVES THE ENTIRE WHEEL/TIRE OUT, AND PLACES EXTRA STRESS ON THE AXLE/HUBS. A WIDER WHEEL WITH THE SAME INNER OFFSET AS STOCK, BUT GREATER OUTER OFFSET WILL NOT AFFECT THE GEOMETRY THE SAME WAY A SPACER DOES.
Live 4 Christ brah!
um yes it does,your still making it come out futher from the axel

UMM, NO IT DOESN'T.
THE INNER OFFSET IS THE SAME, AND THEREFORE THE WEIGHT IS DISTRIBUTED THROUGH THE AXLE AT CLOSE TO WHAT THE STOCK WHEEL GEOMETRY IS. MOVING YOUR ENTIRE WHEEL OUT WITH A SPACER INCREASES THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE CENTER OF THE WHEELS GEOMETRY AND THE WEIGHT IS DISTRIBUTED TO MORE OF THE OUTER EDGE OF THE AXLE.
BUT WHAT CAN I TELL YOU, YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY A ROCKET SCIENTIST.
