I'm running 26x9 all the way around on 5+2 ITP steel.
I'm not too concerned about staying at 50 so what do you reccomend for spacer width?
I'm currently wider in front than rear.
First thought was 1" on rear but now I'm having second thoughts.

I think you should go as wide as reasonable. I am OEM rear wheels front and rear, and I'm planning on 2" rear, 1.5 front combo.
I think your wheels already give a bit more offset, so maybe 1/1.5 F/R for you? Kinda a personal preference thing I guess...

I do plan to add 1" spacers to the back end. Just haven't done it yet. Read somewhere that with our setup that evens out the front/rear track width. I don't personally plan to add any spacing to the front because I understand that it increases bump steer. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

It probably would add some bump without ESP. After I put the 5+2's on mine it felt stable, just needed rear spacers for even track width. Then I went and added more weight up high and it felt like it needed more.

We are in Arizona as well and we run 1" all around and it made a huge difference and does not feel tippy at all. I would never ride without them now

If you are looking for equal you can do it 2 ways - 1" back or 1" in front and 2" in back. Hope that helps. I run OEM and I put 1" all around and like I said I would not change it. You can also call me if you would like. 480-389-7486

Stock wheels on my machine. I started with 1” on the back to even it out. This helped a lot with stability. Later I found a good deal on 2” spacers so I put them on the back and moved the 1” to the front.

Did you add EPS to yours?

I have 5+2 wheels with 4 26x9 tires and no spacers. It’s great when I’m in tight areas and I don’t have to worry too much about clipping the back wheel and frame.
