Is it ok to have all the spacers to one side of the bolt holding the ski to the spindle? What I'm trying to do is have maximum ski width stance, when doing that the carbide is past the edge of the spindle. I'm concerned the bolt could snap off while riding, being that the carbide and ski is that far to one side. Anybody have there skis set like this and noticed any bending or breaking of the bolt?
 
I have had mine all the way wide for 3 years.I assume it may wear the spindle bushings sooner but even stock they get sloppy quickly.UP Bushmans kit works to cure that issue and I highly recommend it.

Wider does work better at least on Phazer which has almost identical spindle as your Nytro.Try it can always put it back!

Yes you can move all the spacers to one side, it will wear out the bushings faster, but as mentioned they need replacement after a season anyway. Make sure you address the wear otherwise your spindle will be next.
