I've been browsing around ebay and whatnot looking for parts & info, and I notice the 3" per side wheel spacers that bolt in.

Anyone use them? Recommend them or not?

I imagine stability would be increased widening the rear stance 6".

Well there are a couple things you need to review prior to purchasing wheel spacers. 1.) What type of riding do you do? Meaning that if you do alot of MX style riding with huge jumps and what not, then I would advise against them. Do you ride tons of wooded areas, I would advise against them due to fitting between trees. If you are doing a flat track racing with small little jumps, then they would be ideal for that due to the stablilty. 2.) Make sure if you purchase some, do not get the single lug spacer, make sure it is a one complete unit. These single spacer systems just are not as strong as you need them to be. Good luck on your findings and welcome to the board...........peace :welcome:
