Just wondering if anyone has tried front wheel spacers on stock rims....I may cheat to get to 50 inches lol

not worth it. If you want to do it the cheap way then flip your rims over on the front but you will probably have to drill a hole for your a new air valve.

Im pretty sure the rear is split dead in half. So I dont think there is a difference in which way you put them.

No sorry I mean rear wheel spacers...

trust me, DO NOT GET THEM FOR THE REAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they put WAYYYYYYYYYY too much stress on the spindle region... lets just put it this way, if you plan on jumping at all, dont get them, because u might bend the axle, and have to buy a new one.......

if you want your rear widened. just buy an axle. i know theyre a lot of money, but its better than spending $150 for the spacers then another $150 for a replacement axle.....

hope this helped u out

g-force axles are only 180$ shipped on ebay and brand new. Or get LTR-450 rear hubs and they will widen the rear a total of 2 inches.

Thanks allot I am new to this so still learning the in's and out's....I was told that the G-Force axles didn't hold up very well over the stock one...and if I did my math right 2 inches should be all i need...I may try the 450 hubs

i bought a set of 3 inch wheel spacers off ebay for the front of my 08 and have not had problems and can tell a big difference and i go to the track at least twice a week and i paid under $20 for them
