An expansion assembly for a rotor blade of a wind turbine is disclosed. The expansion assembly may generally include a spacer having a first end configured to be attached to a blade root of the rotor blade and a second end configured to be attached to a hub of the wind turbine. Additionally, the expansion assembly may comprise a wing defining a substantially aerodynamic profile and including a base portion configured on the spacer and an outboard portion extending from the spacer in a generally spanwise direction. The outboard portion of the wing may generally be configured to be disposed adjacent to at least one of a suction side and a pressure side of the rotor blade.
