Hi guys,
I am new here. I have a 2004 blaster. I use it for recreational riding. I will be going to pismo the end of march and need some input.
I will be purchasing itp sand star wheels for my blaster.
I was looking at some wheel spacers that i found online. They are bolts that extend from the stock studs. The spacers add 3inches to each side. I was just wondering if the spacers will help with anything. Also are there any tips or things that I need to know when I go to pismo beach? any info would be greatly appreciated.

thoose stud extenders are not nearly as strong as the reg spacers,and i would say get some durablue ones or some g-force ones, or maybe some UM ones... much better disign... and yes it makes your bike more stable, but with stock shocks, it makes the shock a little softer...

I have Durablue lightweights and they are great!!! hitting about 5ft and know damage and will try higher. but i think them extenders would break very easily......... they would be fine if you were in the sand all the time but not for jumping

I have the g-force spacers, they add 30mm to each side. They have held up good. Well worth the money!  , Use your favorite thread locking compound during installation and you should never have them come loose. |

thanks for the info this helps alot. I think I will buy the regular spacers like you guys posted.
is there any thing that i should buy to get my atv prepared for the sand? I was told that i should get shock covers, a flag, and paddle tires.
sand stars are my choice of paddle tires.
now i found a site that sells them in these sizes.
20x11x10 for 179.99
22x11x10 for 219.99
should i spend the extra 40 bucks on the 22x11x10? what does the first set of number represent. From what i understand i think.
?? x width x rim size.
am i correct
thanks for all the help.
