I had purchased some wheel spacers for my 07 450, 1 3/4 for each wheel, to be used with the stick wheels & tires. Shortly after installing them, I bought and install new wheels and tires, ITP SS112's. The front was way too wide to keep the spacers on, so I pulled them off today, but left the spacers on the rear. It looks as though the backs only stick out about an inch wider on each side. Is it ok to leave the spacers on the rear? I figure it's gotta make it handle that much better being 3 1/2 wider in the rear, plus it looks bad ass!!!!
 
I cant imagine it would cause any trouble other than placing more stress on the rear axle, which should be a problem. I know when I had the aftermarket wheels on mine the fronts were spaced out farther than my rears so I also had to run spacers on the rear to even it out with the front.
