    I have never had a problem with them on my 350x? I just wanted a little wider stance for the trails that i am running and the 250sx has a very narrow wheelbase and i seem to be dumping it ALOT lol. Are there other other spacers out there that would work that offer more than 1.5 and work with a 250sx

    There is a 2" option, and I think Highlifter has a 3" option... You would be suprised how much of a difference there is with just 1.5" per side... I have no regrets with them, never wishing they were wider...

    I bent all my stock axles and swingarms.

    The crap is all BOLTED together and they keep running.

    Yes, it will still ride but if you ever go and try to rebuild it, you'll find it's bent.

    It was about 1998 when I found the issue and had to buy a new swinger and axle.

    Do as you wish though.........

    . How many inches do I need per side so that my sx would be as wide as a stock 350x?

    Sold my 350x a few years ago... But a measuring tape should give you that answer pretty easily...

    I agree but my 350x is far far away from where i am currently residing. I am stoked to try out the new spacers though.

    Maybe a fresh post, asking what the rear of an X measures... One of the guru's has to know... I will post you a pic of the rear of my SX today with the 1.5"s on it...

    The ones Thorpe show are the same design as wheel spacers for cars and they have a heck of alot more weight and HP working against them and they hold up fine. the durablue set is twice the price and don't seem as good a design IMO.

    Had these on the SX i used to have. Also have them on my 350x right now. They are awesome. Price has gone up a few bucks since i bought mine but the quality is top notch and well worth it.
