Black Ops Machine Can-Am Defender HD11 1.5-Inch Rear Wheel Spacers (Pair)
Black Ops Machine Can-Am Defender HD11 1.5-Inch Rear Wheel Spacers ...
Give the Defender HD11 a Wider, More Balanced Rear Track
Black Ops Machine’s 1.5-inch wheel spacers move each rear wheel outward 1.5 inches—adding 3 inches of total rear track width. They are designed for Defender HD11 owners who want the rear tires to sit closer to the front track width while gaining a wider, more planted stance.
Why the HD11 can look narrower in the rear
The Defender HD11’s front and rear track widths are not necessarily identical. Trim, factory wheel offset, and tire setup can change the exact measurement, but many owners notice that the rear tires sit farther inward than the front.
These spacers move the rear wheel-mounting surfaces outward. The practical result is a fuller rear stance and additional tire-to-chassis clearance. A wider track can also feel more planted, but it does not change suspension travel, spring rate, alignment, or the vehicle’s center of gravity.

Fitment: verify the hub, not only the model name
Black Ops Machine lists this spacer for the newer Can-Am Defender HD11 and identifies the exact fitment as 4×136.7 with M12×1.5 threads. The same pattern is frequently rounded and advertised as either 4/136 or 4/137.
- Confirm the machine is a Defender HD11, not an HD5, HD7, HD8, HD9, HD10, or Defender 6×6
- Confirm a four-lug 4×136.7/4×137 hub pattern
- Confirm M12×1.5 factory wheel-stud threads
- Measure current front and rear stance before choosing 1.5-inch spacing
- Check fender, trailer, gate, body, and tire clearance at the new overall width
- Verify the wheel has enough rear-pocket clearance for any original stud protrusion
Wheel-spacer safety is installation-dependent
A quality spacer still requires clean mating surfaces, correct seating, proper torque, and regular inspection. Moving the wheel outward also increases leverage on wheel bearings, studs, ball joints, and suspension components. That does not mean a 1.5-inch spacer automatically causes a failure, but wear should be monitored—especially on heavily loaded machines or machines running oversized tires.
- Inspect the factory studs, hub, bearings, wheels, and lug seats before installation
- Remove rust, dirt, paint buildup, and debris from both mating surfaces
- Never stack wheel spacers or combine them with damaged hardware
- Use the manufacturer’s hardware, installation sequence, and torque specification
- Make sure the spacer sits completely flush against the hub
- Make sure the wheel sits completely flush against the spacer
- Recheck torque after the initial heat cycle/short drive and inspect periodically
- Do not use an impact wrench as the final torque-setting method
Common questions
Are these sold individually or as a pair?
They are sold as one pair. One order includes two 1.5-inch spacers—enough for one axle.
Should they go on the front or rear?
This HD11 application is marketed to widen the narrower-looking rear stance. Measure your specific machine and confirm the intended axle before installation.
Will they make the rear exactly as wide as the front?
They move each installed wheel outward exactly 1.5 inches. Whether the outer tire edges match depends on front and rear wheel widths, offsets, tires, and trim.
Is the bolt pattern 4/136 or 4/137?
The precise pattern is 4×136.7 mm. It is commonly rounded and labeled 4/136 or 4/137. These labels can describe the same Can-Am pattern, but thread pitch must also match.
What thread pitch does the HD11 spacer use?
Black Ops Machine specifies M12×1.5 for SKU 08-20-151.
Will these fit older Defender HD10 models?
Do not assume they will. The HD11 uses the M12×1.5 specification listed here, while other Defender applications can use different stud sizes. Verify the exact hub before ordering.
Will spacers create more tire clearance?
They move the wheels outward and can increase clearance from some inner suspension or chassis components. They can also reduce outer fender or trailer clearance. Cycle steering and suspension and measure both sides of the wheel before installation.
Do wheel spacers increase component wear?
Moving a wheel outward increases leverage on bearings, studs, ball joints, and related components. Correct installation, moderate spacer width, sound components, and periodic inspection all matter.
Can I stack these with another spacer?
No. Do not stack wheel spacers. Choose one correctly sized spacer and verify adequate stud engagement, wheel-pocket clearance, and flush mating surfaces.
Can I install them with an impact wrench?
An impact can be used carefully for removal or initial run-down, but final tightening should follow the manufacturer’s sequence and torque specification with a calibrated torque wrench.
Finish the wheel setup correctly
Browse all UTV wheel spacers, shop Can-Am Defender parts and accessories, or ask R1 Industries to confirm your HD11 hub specification.
Fix the stance with the correct measurement
Confirm 4×136.7, verify M12×1.5 threads, and measure the machine at its current wheel offset before ordering.
