WANTED: Wheel spacers

RazBarlow · 09-30-2008, 12:46 PM

This goes out to all you guys that started out with wheel spacers and now went to offset wheels . I am in the same boat as you were in the beginning. I want to use my stock rims but need to space out about 2" for the Jakes kit.
These spacers need to fit on a G1 Yamaha .
Anyone have a full set for all 4 wheels for a decent price ?
Thanks,
Raz

I have never figured out why wheel spacers are so high....I think it's a product liability thing.

I wondered that also, you can buy a set of 4 universal mount cheap rims for cheaper than you can buy a set of wheel spacers.I can buy OEM polaris rims in silver with a 4X4 bolt pattern with a 3 in. offset for $50.14 each which is cheaper than buying wheel spacers !

The Polaris rims work great, no need for spacers with them. Unless you want aluminum rims for looks or need to even out the stance with some long travel front ends, i'd go with the Polaris rims. i've been running them for years on my carts.

Only the back rims are the 4X4 bolt pattern correct ? And are all of them 3 in offset ? Do you have any side pics of a cart with the polaris rims on it ?
Thanks for the Info.,

Polaris rims, yes they are the back rims on some (if not most) of the older ATVs. They are 8.5" wide with 2.5" to the inside, 6" to the outside.

So,They work fine with the Jakes Lift kits ? I want to lift my Yamaha G-1 .
Thanks,
