I am considering purchasing a pair of the 5 inch wheel spacers on ebay (link below). I do mostly dune riding, so im looking for a wider stance for better stability. Does anyone have a pair of these on their
350X? Anyone have pictures? Any input on these spacers let me know. Thanks!:Bounce

Didn't pull the link, but I have the 3" per side solid one piece wheel spacers on my 350X. I went through a specialty bolt supplier to get the metric threaded bolts so I could use the tapered lug nuts with the OEM 86 rims. Works sweet.... especially with the +4 Westcoast!:naughty:

I have no experience with the type of spacer you're looking at, but I would be suspect of any claim that they would be strong enough or ideal for a machine that is being really jumped. I have used exclusively the aluminum Dura Blue-style spacers, but don't recommend them for serious air time and landings due to the fact that spacers put more leverage on the stock axle....which means that it bends much more easily.

In dune riding, those type may be a bit better suited, but I personally would not be able to take my mind off worrying about them.

Dura Blue +2.5" per side on my oldest boy's X.....just till he orders a Dura Blue axle:
