Rarerat- FL250 rear axle: hub to hub=37", frame rails or bolting points- outside to outside=23-1/2", with 22x11x8 tires overall width= 49". Since we haven't had a stock rearend on the Spiderbox in awhile I don't remember it's stock width, but since the FL250's rails are just a 1/2" narrower than the stock Spiderbox swingarm it must be close to the same.
IMO I think it's too narrow but that's up to the driver to keep it from rolling over especially since you're intent is more (alot more) power.If it makes a difference- my plans for our Spiderbox engine mod is another Honda 200sx motor: decent power,almost bullet-proof design,auto-clutch,5 speed tranny means your gonna climb that hill,reverse,elctric and pull start,good voltage for lights (40mpg+) The bad -chain drive on the left means you can flip the axle but you'll have to move the brakes to the other side, add a cable shifter. The parts for this motor are as cheap or cheaper than a GY6.
