I have the Dura Blue 'Eliminator' axle in my dale, and with 3+5 offset wheels w/ 9.5" wide Turfs, my rear end is only 48" wide. Does anyone know if a Lonestar or RPM will give 50" w/o having to adapt 400EX hubs? I wouldn't care to go with the hubs, but I have heard that some guys are having a hard time getting them to fit the splines. Truthfully, my stock hubs are hard to get on/off of my Dura Blue. Don't know if it's because of the chrome plating or if the splines aren't exactly perfect.:confused:

I've got an RPM and just installed a set of 18" mxr's on 8x8 baja wheels that I believe are 3/5 offset, rear is 48" With the stock 9" wheels it was closer to 50", but I believe stock offset is different.

I figured with any 2+2 axle, you would end up with 50". So your RPM came with more than two spacers, and that you're only using two? I may contact Gary@Dura Blue and see if mine came with all the spacers. YamaWarr0121, do you know what offset your rear wheels are? I'm sure we have the same wheels. Mine are 8x8 Champion Beadlocks. I can't figure out why mine is so narrow. My axle only came with 2 spacers.?.?

well, i know they are less of an outwards offset then the dale wheels, i believe the guys at K&K where i bought them said they were +3+5 (honda offset) since when i put them on stock they made it skinnier, but i did this on purpose so it would all line up at 50" and it did. My RPM came with a big spacer anda little spacer for each side. The big spacer was about an inch to an inch 1/2 long...and the little spacer was about 1/2 inch long. The axle was adjustaBle from +3, +6...

Stock offset is 3+6, if you are running an 8" wheel than the the offset should be 3+5, so running a 9" wheel will make the rear of the quad 2 inches wider than an 8" wheel w a 3+5 offset... hence the 3+5=8 and the 3+6=9 ( I am talking about width, not wheel height).
