What do you guys think about wheel spaces? I've been doing a bit of reading and there are a lot of opinions.

Some say the handling and stabilty improves. That can't be bad.

Some say sub axles have been known to break wheels falling off etc.

From what I've read the breakages seem to happen for those that are doing a lot of jumps and racing.

its very unlikely that you will break anything other than wheel studs but in saying that if you are running a spacer that is properly designed you will have no issues..

like this one



if you are jumping full time then run an extended axle

I have ran wheel spacers before I was very nervous about using them but i never had a problem with them. I only used them on the front and never did jumps or anything like that with them.

I find it interesting. Why did you only use from on the front wheels? How did it affect the handling?

Iv used some on jap utes, I doubt anyone could break a wheel spacer/axle on ATV because of type of tyres usually mounted.
