Using wheel spacers on ATV Yamaha is a good solution to fix the wrong offset issues. They have been widely and successfully applied for decades. By pushing the wheels and tires further away, they provide a more aggressive stance. Commonly, it is recommended to use Yamaha wheel spacers that are between 1-inch to 1.5-inch.
In brief words, vehicle-specific wheel spacers are the safest spacers. They are machined to fit the specific vehicle hub, which ensures perfect fitment. For example, the bolt pattern of a Yamaha Raptor 700R is 4x156mm (front). Then specific 4×156 spacers are the best option for wheel upgrades.
Best Yamaha Wheel Spacers on ATV Sizes – Good or Bad
The best wheel spacers on ATV Yamaha are 1-inch to 2-inch thickness, hub-centric types, and forged 7075-T6 aluminum alloy material. You can install bigger wheel spacers to create a more aggressive and sportier stance. It all depends on your personal preference. Here are the pros and cons of each size:
- 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch: If you just need a little space to clear bigger brake calipers, then 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch wheel spacers are a good idea. They don’t push the wheels out too much, which keeps an OEM-like wheel style.
- 1-inch to 1.25-inch: If you plan to add wider tires or bigger rims, 1-inch to 1.25-inch spacers are helpful in removing rubbing issues. These spacers increase the track width, which improves the handling and stability. They also make your ATVs look more powerful.
- 1.5-inch to 2-inch: Using 1.5-inch to 2-inch wheel spacers on ATV Yamaha is a good idea to fit a lift kit. They push the wheels even further, giving your ATVs a more rugged, aggressive stance. This also provides better stability and rollover resistance.
Why BONOSS Yamaha Wheel Spacers on ATV Stands Out?
With over 17 years of manufacturing experience and 1800+ drawing updates, BONOSS provides the best wheel spacers on ATV Yamaha Raptor 700R, YFZ450R, Grizzly EPS, Kodiak 700 EPS, and more vehicles. There are several key advantages that make BONOSS forged wheel spacers a top choice.
1. Extra Active Cooling Advantages
BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers are designed with heat dissipation grooves to make brake cooling better. The heat dissipation grooves allow the air to flow through the brake rotor. This boosts the brake cooling efficiency, reducing brake thermal decay, and improving road safety.
2. Aerospace-grade Aluminum
As the spacer industry develops, the strength of the spacer has been greatly improved. For example, a forged BONOSS forged 7075-T6 spacer can withstand about 572 MPa stress without breaking. These BONOSS forged active cooling Yamaha wheel spacers are just as safe as many aftermarket alloy wheels.
3. Convenient Disassembly Grooves
There are small slots that are distributed on the corner of wheel spacers. Each notch leaves a limited clearance between the brake rotor and the spacer. With the help of these disassembly grooves, you can simply remove the spacer from the brake rotor. This provides a better user experience.
