Abstract
An axle extension device includes a circular extender plate having a plurality of bores adapted to receive the mounting studs of a vehicle hub therethrough. A number of stud bolts equal to the number of mounting studs extend outwardly from the extender plate for receiving corresponding holes of a hub of a vehicle tire/wheel combination. The extender plate has a thickness such that a tire/wheel combination attached thereto is displaced from the vehicle's wheel hub so the vehicle's wheel base is broadened. Another embodiment includes a first extender plate for mounting to the mounting studs of a vehicle hub, the first extender plate having a threaded exterior side surface. A second extender plate includes a threaded interior surface and may be rotatably mounted to the first extender plate for adjusting the amount of axle extension. The second extender plate includes stud bolts for receiving a tire/wheel combination.
