The machine leans, and you instinctively shift your weight. A wider stance makes that moment a lot less dramatic, and that is exactly what wheel spacers deliver.<\/p>\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/wild-boar-wheel-spacers-4156-12-125-15\">Wild Boar Wheel Spacers &#8211; 1.5&#8243; 4\/156 12mmx1.25<\/a> are sold as a pair. They bolt between your hub and wheel to push each wheel out 1.5 inches from where it sits now.<\/p>\n<h2>How a wider stance helps<\/h2>\n<p>Track width is the distance between the left and right tires. Widen it, and the machine&#8217;s center of gravity has more room before it tips past the tires. That translates to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>More stability on off-camber trails and sidehills<\/li>\n<li>A more planted feel in corners<\/li>\n<li>Less body roll when you turn sharply at speed<\/li>\n<li>More confidence when the machine is loaded with gear<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One pair adds 1.5 inches per side on that axle. Many riders run spacers on both the front and rear for a balanced stance, which means ordering two pairs.<\/p>\n<p>Wheel spacers also move the wheel away from suspension parts and the body. If you are stepping up to a larger or wider tire and it is rubbing on an A-arm or floorboard, spacers can create the clearance you need.<\/p>\n<h2>The specs<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Thickness: 1.5 inches<\/li>\n<li>Bolt pattern: 4\/156<\/li>\n<li>Studs: 12mmx1.25 thread<\/li>\n<li>Material: billet aluminum<\/li>\n<li>Sold as one pair, hardware included<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Matching spacers to your machine<\/h2>\n<p>Before you order, check three things. First, your hub bolt pattern needs to be 4\/156. Second, your wheel studs and lug nuts need to be the 12mmx1.25 thread size. Third, think about your wheels&#8217; offset, since spacers add to it. A wheel that already sits far out from the hub may push too wide once a 1.5-inch spacer goes behind it, so measure before you buy.<\/p>\n<h2>Install and maintenance<\/h2>\n<p>Pull the wheel, bolt the spacer to the hub using the supplied hardware, then mount the wheel to the spacer&#8217;s studs. Torque everything to spec, and recheck the torque after your first ride and periodically after that. Spacers add a little leverage on wheel bearings and ball joints, so keep an eye on those during regular maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>Not sure if your machine uses a 4\/156 pattern?
