Michael Jackson Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 yea, but i wouldnt, the banshee is already so narrow, +2's put it on par with new stock quads, i ride in tight trails alot of times and +2 is fine, the handling is way better, u will kick yourself in the ass if you buy stock length ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Soze Posted January 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 The offset on my front rims already gives me a lot of width Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterlocal22 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 what kind of riding so you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Soze Posted January 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Tight trails. Recently we have been riding acrossed some bridges that connect trails. instead of riding comfortable inside the rails on the bridge like the people I ride with, I ride on top. Its a very tight fit. Im in the market for some new a-arms due the condition of the threads on my current ones. Thought I should fork out a couple hundred extra and try to go aftermarket. I could sell my front rims and then get wider a arms... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Jackson Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 your better off running +2 a-arms with a shallower offset rim, than standard arms and deep offset, u want the center of the wheel as close to over the top of the balljoints as possible, and i doubt the price will be much different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Jackson Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 ive read on here many times about that, having the wheels too far away from the balljoints creates more bumpsteer than the banshee already has and then the obvious, your brake calipers will be hanging out, also much more leverage on the balljoints and i guess u could say the studs too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
