Default Anybody running a pulley spacer for larger tire clearance?

I went to a 250 on my Softail Rocker and the clearance is VERY tight between the tire and the drive belt. I'm considering the using a pulley spacer to get a little more clearance.

Is there anybody here running once? If so, any issues? Any problems with the belt guard clearance?

Thanks.

J.D.

The best way to find out if you'll have clearance is to measure. If you need an exact size you can't order, you can always purchase a slightly larger one and have it machined down at a local shop for fairly cheap.
