I wanted to widen the front and rear end of my blaster. I was wondering If anyone has ever used the wheel spacers befor? And if so what are some cheap ones.
Thoughts on wheel spacers??

I wouldn't get the stud extenders, those look scary. Have you flipped the front rims? Was actually looking at some on Egay last night and some good rears aren't much less then you can buy a new Banshee axle for, and a used axle is about the same. Just start cruiseing the Bay and see what you find.
I got a good deal on some 1 1/2" front spacers for my blaster, they really help cornering by keeping your wheels on the ground better. If you do a lot of jumping then extended A arms are the only way to go, the spacers will snap the bolts off your hubs on landings.
i've never heard anyone complain about using them

Awk, how do you like the ones on your sons bike? I have the same ones not installed yet. The way they bolt up kinda turns me off. I did a little checking back when got them and it looked to me that the bolt head will hit the brake caliper. Are you running them with disc or drums?
Hmmm. I wanted to extend the rear and front a little, to improve cornEring, but I race motocross, so I do some jumps and some big ones too.
i have the delron (or whatever) ones that already have studs in them, not the full pass thru bolt style, and of course on hydro's
my boys bike also has alot of my old mods on it....front shocks, ect. and the front end just does not feel the same as when they were on mine without the spacers, sumthin feels weird ??? could this be the "bumpsteer" everyone says spacers cause ????
but then again, everything else feels weird compared to my current "cadillac" setup on my bike

I was thinking along the LinEs of these. I would think they b a little better than extended bolts or longer hubs.

thats a good deal, except for the fact the bolts/nuts are missing, i'm not sure any old bolt will work, or should they be a case hardened bolt ???
i think i'd spend the extra $20 and get these ones w/free shipping
(you'll need an extra set of lugnuts, or ask them if they'll throw a set of used nuts in on the deal ???)

As AWK said, I have the extenders and have had no issues with rocks jumping or anything, cheapest way I know of and use blue locktight on them you'll never have any issues!
don't use spacers if your riding motoX! If you're just trail riding a little spacing is fine, ymmv. I saw an adult last year on a blaster with those stud spacers up front and he said they worked for him...I wouldn't run them though.
I used to run 2.25" spacers on the rear with stock wheels but now I have 1" offset wheels so I don't run the spacers anymore. Flipped front wheels too.
If you're doing motoX, you want offset wheels up front and/or longer A-arms, and a stronger and wider rear axle.

easier to just install a banshee axle on back (ASWELL AS BANSHEE BRAKE HUB) you can find these for under 100 bucks easy. for the front i just used the +3 stub extenders, alot of people say there weak but honestly after using some locktight and torquing them right i run my blaster hard and haven't had a problem. price cant be beat. the better spacers are obviously the ring style but be per-paired $$$ lol four durablue spacers are more cash then i even used to buy my blaster
