ATV wheel spacers are designed to widen the stance of your vehicle, providing extra stability and control, especially during tight turns and challenging terrain. By increasing the distance between the wheels, wheel spacers help lower the center of gravity, reducing the risk of tipping over and giving you more confidence to tackle even the most demanding trails.
Improved Tire Clearance and Aggressive Stance
With ATV wheel spacers, you can easily accommodate larger, high-traction tires, giving your vehicle a more aggressive stance and better traction on various surfaces. Whether you're navigating through mud, snow, or rocky terrain, the additional clearance provided by wheel spacers allows for smoother rides and better performance in any condition.
Precise Fitment and Quality Materials
When shopping for ATV wheel spacers, it's crucial to choose high-quality products that are specifically designed to fit your vehicle's make and model. Look for wheel spacers made from durable materials to achieve excellent tensile strength and corrosion resistance.
Easy Installation
Installing ATV wheel spacers is a straightforward process that can typically be completed with basic hand tools in just a few hours. Stability-enhancing wheel spacers allow you to install wider wheels at record speeds, giving your machine the edge you need, exactly when you need it.

What Are ATV Wheel Spacers?
ATV wheel spacers are accessories designed to widen the stance of your vehicle, providing extra stability and clearance for larger tires. Made from high-quality materials such as aluminum or steel alloy, these spacers ensure a precise fit and long-lasting service life. They are compatible with various ATV and UTV models, including popular brands like Can-Am, CFMoto, Honda, Polaris, and Yamaha.
Are ATV Wheel Spacers Easy to Install?
Yes, installing ATV wheel spacers is generally a straightforward process. However, it's essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully and use the appropriate tools for installation. If you're unsure or inexperienced, it's advisable to seek professional assistance or guidance.
Do ATV Wheel Spacers Come with Installation Instructions?
Yes, ATV wheel spacers come with detailed installation instructions to guide users through the installation process. Additionally, many manufacturers provide online resources, such as installation videos or guides, to assist customers with the installation process.
Why Should I Use Threadlocker When Installing ATV Wheel Spacers?
Is It Necessary to Use Loctite When Installing ATV Wheel Spacers?
Yes, using Loctite when installing wheel spacers is highly recommended. Loctite is a thread locker that helps prevent the bolts and nuts from loosening due to vibrations and harsh off-road conditions. Applying Loctite to the studs ensures that the wheel spacers remain securely in place, maintaining the stability and safety of your ATV or UTV. This added security is especially important for off-road adventures where constant vibrations can lead to hardware loosening over time.
Which Loctite Should You Use When Installing ATV Wheel Spacers?
Should You Use Blue or Red Loctite for ATV Wheel Spacer Installation?
When installing wheel spacers, it's recommended to use blue Loctite. Blue Loctite is designed to secure bolts and nuts while still allowing for disassembly with standard hand tools. Red Loctite, on the other hand, creates a permanent bond that requires special tools and heat to remove. Using blue Loctite ensures that your wheel spacers stay in place but can be removed if necessary.

How Do I Know What Size Wheel Spacers to Use for My All-Terrain Vehicle?
Determining the Correct Size of Wheel Spacers
Selecting the right wheel spacers for your all-terrain vehicle requires careful consideration of several factors to ensure optimal fitment and performance.
ATV Bolt Pattern
Assessing your ATV's bolt pattern is essential. The bolt pattern refers to the number of bolts and their spacing on the wheel hub. Each ATV model has a specific bolt pattern, and it's crucial to match the wheel spacers' bolt pattern to that of your ATV. This ensures proper alignment and attachment of the spacers to the wheel hub, preventing any issues such as misalignment or instability during operation.
Hub Diameter (Center Bore)
The hub diameter refers to the diameter of the circular area on the wheel hub where the wheel mounts. It's essential to choose wheel spacers that have a hub diameter compatible with your ATV's wheel hub size. Matching the hub diameter ensures a secure fit and proper distribution of weight and forces, minimizing the risk of wobbling or instability while riding.
ATV Thread Pitch
The thread pitch of your ATV's studs is another crucial factor. The thread pitch refers to the distance between threads on the studs and must match the wheel spacers' thread pitch for a secure fit. Ensuring compatibility between the studs and spacers' thread pitch is essential for maintaining proper attachment and avoiding any potential issues during operation.
Range of Wheel Spacers
Considering the desired width increase is crucial when selecting wheel spacers. Wheel spacers come in various widths (1-Inch, 1.25-Inch, 1.5-Inch and 2-Inch) allowing you to customize your ATV's stance and performance according to your preferences. Before purchasing wheel spacers, determine the desired width increase you aim to achieve. Whether you're looking to enhance stability, accommodate larger tires, or achieve a more aggressive look, selecting the appropriate width of wheel spacers is essential for meeting your specific goals.
Can ATV Wheel Spacers Improve Vehicle Stability?
Yes, ATV wheel spacers can enhance vehicle stability by increasing the track width, which reduces the risk of rollovers and improves handling, especially when navigating rough terrain. Aluminum wheel spacers are specifically designed to provide extra stability for off-road adventures.
Do ATV Wheel Spacers Affect the Vehicle's Warranty?
Installing aftermarket accessories like ATV wheel spacers should not void your ATV's warranty, provided the modifications are installed correctly and do not directly cause any damage to the vehicle. However, it's recommended to consult with your ATV manufacturer or dealership to confirm how aftermarket modifications may impact your warranty coverage.
Can ATV Wheel Spacers Accommodate Larger Tires?
ATV wheel spacers play a crucial role in accommodating larger tires, thereby significantly enhancing the ATV's performance and versatility. By increasing the wheel's clearance and creating additional space between the tire and the vehicle's frame or suspension components, wheel spacers provide the necessary room for the installation of larger tires.
For example, ATV wheel spacers can accommodate a wide range of tire types, including:
-
All-Terrain Tires
-
Mud Tires
-
Rock Crawling Tires
-
Sand Tires
-
Trail Tires
-
Snow Tires
Can ATV Wheel Spacers Be Used for Racing or Competitive Riding?
Yes, ATV wheel spacers can be beneficial for racing or competitive riding, as they can enhance vehicle stability and traction, allowing for better cornering and maneuverability. However, it's essential to check with the specific racing regulations or competition guidelines to ensure that wheel spacers are allowed.
