Welcome to the site! You can flip the front wheels for cheap to get some extra width. Doing so will wear and tear on the stock ball joints and tie rod ends over time. To do it the right way is to get +2 or +3 a arms. ASR, Wicked, Fullflight are the good brands of a arms to get. Stay away from burgard a arms, ive heard nothing but bad things on these.

Sounds fair to me. When i ordered mine they were 500, but they came with the tie rod ends and SS brake lines.
No tie rod ends or brake lines with this kit. Has 4 arms with ball joints and tie rods, that's it. Here's the kit... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360327946284

Yup, that kit you use your stock ball joints and brake lines. ASR makes a good quality product.

Those even have the Hiem joints, which are stronger than regular ball joints. gotta maintenance them more though.
Hhmmm, I found a bunch of 1.75" spacers on eBay, but no other sizes...

If you have the extra $ get a G- force axle. they go for 200 which is an awesome price. They are adjustable from stock, +2, and +4.

for now I'd just flip the back wheels
How much wider does it make the rear?

depends on the offset of your rims
Wow!...my '02 Warrior is 5.3" narrower than a YFZ450R, 3.6" narrower than a YFZ450X, and 3.7" narrower than a TRX400EX/X. No wonder it feels like it wants to tip over in a turn. With OEM wheels, +2 front arms, and 1.75" rear spacers it's still 1.8" narrower than the YFZ450R. Interesting data...but exciting! The arms and spacers are now definitely on my I gotta have list!
The wheelbase is about 2.7" short than the 3 fore mentioned rides...
side note...This quad stuff is all new to me. I'm a dirt bike guy. I have a '08 KTM 300XCWe and a '08 Kawi KLX450R...this quad was GIVEN to me by my dentist. He and his kids no longer had a use for it, and it had a gummed up carb, and he wanted it gone...mine! A hour in the carb, few bling parts, and it's now fun...want to make it funner!!!!...:atv:
...i think a FMF Powerbomb and FMF Q4 are next on the list. Gotta make it run better and sound good (but not stupid loud)...
