Front wheel spacers

[KStarkey]

I would like to widen the stance on the front of my 87' without replacing the A arms. What are the pros and cons of front wheel spacers? I am running ITP Blackwater tires on the rear, they look and feel great. I don't jump the bike at all, just trails, hills and some mud. Thanks for any input!

I don't have any experience with front spacers but my buddy picked up some flush mount valve stems for his front wheels and flipped them and it looks nice, I will try to get a pic when I see him again, but that's an idea. I think he got 4 for 10$ on Amazon or EBay

Unfortunately, there are no bolt on aftermarket a arms for the first gen warriors. I personally wouldn't recommend flipping the wheels, as it will place more force on the balljoints and wear them out faster. It will also add a considerable amount of feedback through the handlebars. That being said, many people that don't ride hard or jump often have had positive experiences with wheel spacers.

Thanks for the input. I don't ride the bike too hard. I am thinking about just slowly restoring it. The motor is MINT, Plastics are mint just sun faded, frame is strait. Just needs minor things like right rear hub is slightly bent, needs front rims, needs new handlebars are maybe a paint job. I had a 95' Warrior and that thing didn't run half as good as this 87'
