Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The problem with wheel spacers like that is moving the wheel so far away from the spindle will put more load on the bearings making them wear out faster, it will also change the geometry of the steering since you are moving the wheel away from its pivot point. I would recommend against them long term.

I would go with the aluminum spacers from highlifter they look to be stonger than just studs.  Just my 2 cents.

My friend has those on his polaris 700. HE has had no problems with them so far. I have dura blue carbons on mine and i like them.

I second you on this. I you are going to use them stick w/ the aluminum ones. The graphite ones (durablue) tend to crack a lot from what I have seen.

I have the aluminum spacers on the back of my raptor and I have had no problems.
