Title: Spacers Post by: Teej on February 22, 2006, 10:25:12 PM What is your take on Wheel spacer bolts? Are they as safe and durable as other wheel spacers?

You may have to do machining if used on the front.Just dont go crazy with the spacing 2 to 3in. is the max I would go. We run the on our LT80 with good luck but had to machine them down to fit around hub on the frt. Hope this helps. Look at my signature for our link to our site.

What is your take on spacer studs increase either 3" or 5" ? Is 5" too much? What if I spaced the back end 5" and the front end 3"?

We are a total of 8in in the rear of our xtreme thats with rims and spacer combo. But we used full spacers not the bolt style spacers.
