I am posting this in here because it is a question about a part.

Has anyone bought this type of wheel spacer? I am not sure with it being made from urethane. If you have bought and used them, how did/do they hold up. They are cheap$$, so I want to buy a set. However, I also don't want to throw away $16.00

I had a set I tried on my Tecate. I didn't like them at all. They didn't keep the wheel centered.

I have the 3" spacers on my KLT200C. The extension bolts included (too small at 3/8) did not fit the lugs on my hubs. I bought 4.5" bolts and it took a few attempts to get them centered. I bolted them down tight and have stayed in place nicely last few months. I recently snagged a tire on the side of a tree and it pushed it off center slightly so I have to adjust it again. If you could use the bolts included they would be fine I believe, as they are tapered on a slight angle that will keep the spacer centered. Over all not bad for a cheap spacer and are holding up good for the 6 months I have used them. Also they do clear the differential lock ok, but makes it difficult to move the locker without needle nose pliers.

Wow, I didnt know you could buy spacers that cheap, sounds like there is a reason. The Durablue version of these work very well, but are not cheap.

Spend the money on the aluminum ones. They work great.

I agree 100%. I believe they are lighter also, but have not done a weight comparison. I like the G-force hubs also.
