1 3/4 Wheel spacer ??? Yamaha Rhino paddles

[OFFROADSWAPMEET]

I have a Yamaha Rhino with a Mafia ind long travel kit.I put my paddles on my stock rims and the inner part of the rim was rubbing on the rear arm. I have 1 3/4 wheel spacers and I wanted to know if you guys ever had any issues when running wheel spacers out in the desert or the dunes.

Heading to Pismo and Glamis some day!

Will it be ok to run these wheel spacer on the rear with long travel?

I know there's some old Rhino owners here?

It should be okay. Might put some added stress, but for one trip it is fine. Maybe put the paddles on your dirt tire rims.

I would not run spacers in the front as it will push in turns and you will need a country mile to make a turn. Plus added stress on the steering rack and spindels.
