Wider Stance, Better Handling, No Tire Rub — The Can-Am X3 1.5" Wheel Spacer

Stop running a narrow OEM stance when a simple spacer upgrade delivers measurably better stability and handling. The Black Ops Machine Can-Am X3 1.5" Wheel Spacers are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum for the 4/136 bolt pattern with M12x1.5 thread pitch — the optimal width to widen your stance without stressing suspension components. Sold in pairs because that's the only correct way to install them.

Why Can-Am X3 Riders Choose the Black Ops Machine 1.5" Wheel Spacers

• 6061-T6 Aluminum – Lightweight, corrosion-resistant aerospace-grade aluminum — strong enough for aggressive off-road use without adding unnecessary unsprung weight.
• 1.5" Width — The Sweet Spot – Wide enough to meaningfully improve stance and stability, narrow enough to avoid stressing ball joints and steering components. The ideal range is 1–2" and 1.5" hits it perfectly.
• Wider Stance = Better Stability – Pushing the wheels out expands your tire footprint and lowers your effective center of gravity — improved handling in corners, whoops, and aggressive terrain.
• Eliminates Tire Rub – Provides the clearance needed to prevent tires from rubbing on suspension components or the frame during aggressive turns and articulation.
• 4/136 Bolt Pattern, M12x1.5 Thread – Designed specifically for the Can-Am X3, Maverick, and Defender bolt pattern.
• Sold in Pairs – Always install equally on both sides of the axle — that's how we sell them and that's how they should be installed.

Why 1.5" Is the Right Width for Your X3

Wheel spacer width is a balance between performance gain and suspension stress. Too narrow (under 1") and the stance improvement is minimal. Too wide (over 2") and you start adding meaningful stress to ball joints, wheel bearings, and CV axles — accelerating wear on components you don't want to replace early. The 1–2" range is the sweet spot validated by off-road racers and enthusiasts, and 1.5" sits right in the middle. You get a meaningful improvement in stance width, tire footprint, and cornering stability without pushing into the range where suspension component wear becomes a concern. Always install spacers in pairs on the same axle, torque to manufacturer specs, and re-torque after the first ride. Check periodically and you'll get years of reliable service from this upgrade.

Real Riders, Real Results

"The difference in stability through corners is immediately noticeable. My X3 feels planted in a way it never did on stock stance. Install was straightforward and the aluminum quality is excellent."

"Solved my tire rub issue and improved the handling at the same time. 1.5" is the perfect width — noticeable improvement without going overboard. Best bang-for-buck upgrade on my Maverick."
