Wheel Spacers from UM Racing Products

Has anyone heard about this company, if so, are the wheel spacers any good?, these are made of titanium & graphite and mention that the RZR has to have 1.5" on the front & 2.5" on the rear for the stability to work best and keep the factory stand.

Any help will be appreciate it !!

Thanks !!

Only problem I see with them that you need to replace the studs to use them and will be not so easy go back to original wide stand, if you need to . I use this kind of spacer and is very easy to take them out, but they are only 1.5 inch.httphttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&viewitem=&item=170210410563 #ebayphotohosting

Re: Wheel Spacers from UM Racing Products

I'm not a big fan of this design because of the way it attaches. You are in essence adding 2.5" to the length of a bolt (original stud) that was never designed to support the torque that will be present. It basically "makes the lever longer" and can lead to failure of the original studs. Yes, the add on hub helps offset some of that but I much prefer a design like the one that milosusa linked to.

Just my 2 cents...

They don't look bad and probably are very light, but I do agree with BigDog about putting to much stress on the original studs. But, if you like to have 2.5 inch I think you don't have another choice, but only go with them, because I don;t think I ever saw 2.5 inch aluminum spacer. But I could be wrong. I added 1 inch off set rims to get 2.5 inch total.
