If your machine feels tippy on off-camber trails, you are not imagining it. Many ATVs and side-by-sides come from the factory with a fairly narrow track, and a narrow machine with a high center of gravity is easier to roll.
Our Wild Boar Wheel Spacers – 1.5″ 4/156 10mmx1.25 are one of the simplest ways to widen that stance. They are sold as a pair, made of billet aluminum, and come with the hardware for installation.
Track width and stability
Track width is the distance between the left and right tires. Widening it lowers the risk of tipping on side hills, in ruts and when you hit something at an angle. Each spacer moves its wheel out 1.5 inches, so a pair on one axle adds roughly 3 inches of total track width. Many riders notice the difference immediately on side hills and in tight, rutted turns.
Specs
- Thickness: 1.5 inches
- Bolt pattern: 4/156
- Stud thread: 10mm x 1.25
- Material: billet aluminum
- One pair, hardware included
The 4/156 bolt pattern is used by a number of machines. Confirm your hub’s bolt pattern and that your wheel studs use 10mm x 1.25 threads before you order. Running all four corners means buying two pairs.
More room for tires
A wider stance is not the only benefit. Pushing the wheel outward also creates more space between the tire and suspension parts, which gives you room to run larger tires. That makes spacers a handy companion to a tire upgrade.
Spacers are popular with hunters and farm owners as well as trail riders. A machine that feels more planted on a side hill or a muddy pasture slope is simply more comfortable to drive, especially with a load in the rack.
Install the right way
Make sure the hub face is clean so the spacer seats flat. Torque the spacer nuts to your machine’s spec in a star pattern, mount the wheel and torque the lug nuts the same way. Check torque again after your first ride. A wider stance also puts more load on wheel bearings and can change steering feel slightly, so keep an eye on bearings during regular service.
