Serious question, not bashing by any means as I have no experience with wheel spacers. But why would you want to run wheels spacers?

Wider stance.

Wider stance.

Is there a benefit to that?

Pros: more lateral stability at speed, like in the dunes.

Cons: A lot more stress on axle stubs and suspension components.

typically they're not highly recommended due to wear and tear on components, plus there is a danger factor of them loosening up unannounced unexpectedly.

Thank you this was very helpful

Yup, Rocky said it all. Plus (no offense Craig) all the stones, mud, debris, etc, that gets tossed at the side of your machine (and you).

The KRX is setup just about perfect from the factory.. don’t screw it up with spacers!!

Here’s a great video to help explain to you why they’re not a good idea.

Thanks for posting that great video JTW. This video shows why the KRX is a great handling vehicle. Most people use spacers on the rear only to increase stability. The other way to increase stability is to use wheels with more offset. Wheel spacers are less money and you can still rotate your tires for even even wear because the rear tires always wear faster than the front.
