That sound is one of the most common reasons riders call us about wheel spacers.<\/p>\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/wild-boar-wheel-spacers-413712-15\">Wild Boar Wheel Spacers &#8211; 1.5&#8243; 4\/137 12mmx1.5<\/a> are made for exactly that situation. They come as a pair, machined from billet aluminum, with the hardware you need to install them.<\/p>\n<h2>Where bigger tires start rubbing<\/h2>\n<p>Tire size grows in two directions. A taller tire gets closer to fenders and frame, but a wider tire gets closer to the suspension on the inside. On many machines the first contact point is the inner edge of the tire against an A-arm, tie rod or coil-over during a hard turn or full compression. A lift kit fixes the height problem. It does nothing for the inside clearance.<\/p>\n<h2>How 1.5 inches helps<\/h2>\n<p>A spacer bolts to your hub and gives the wheel a new mounting face 1.5 inches farther out. That moves the whole tire outward on each side, which opens up room between the tread and your suspension parts. It is often the simplest way to make a wider tire live happily with stock or aftermarket arms, and it pairs well with offset A-arms, aftermarket shocks and bigger brake setups that eat into wheel space.<\/p>\n<h2>Specs that matter<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Thickness: 1.5 inches<\/li>\n<li>Bolt pattern: 4\/137<\/li>\n<li>Stud thread: 12mm x 1.5<\/li>\n<li>Material: billet aluminum<\/li>\n<li>Sold as one pair, hardware included<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The 4\/137 pattern shows up on a lot of machines, but do not guess. Measure your hub or check your owner&#8217;s manual, and confirm your lug thread is 12mm x 1.5 before you order. If you need all four corners spaced, you will want two pairs.<\/p>\n<h2>Install tips from the counter<\/h2>\n<p>Clean the hub face so the spacer sits completely flat. Torque the spacer nuts to your machine&#8217;s wheel nut spec in a star pattern, then mount the wheel and torque those lug nuts the same way. Recheck everything after the first ride. Keep in mind that pushing tires outward also changes how the machine steers and loads the wheel bearings, so inspect bearings during regular service.<\/p>\n<p>Many riders use spacers and a lift kit together. The lift handles height, the spacers handle width and inside clearance.<\/p>\n<p>Not sure whether 1.5 inches is the right amount of clearance for your tire and suspension combination?
