Banshee 79 Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 What offset wheel is everyone running with +2 arms, I see most manufacturers recommend 4:1 offset, my wheels now are 2:3 offset. Can you run those with +2 arms or would that stress the arms & shock to much? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ordered some +2+1s and I think I am going to run 3+2s but 4+1s wouldput it where I have it right now with the 2+3s. 4+1 if you needed to lose some width for one ride, but I would say go with the stock 3+2s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast Banshee Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 it depends what your doing. if your riding woods and you need to be alittle bit narrower go with he 4-1. 4-1 also help with bump steer by moving the center of you tire closer to the ball joints. I have 3-2 on my +3+1 a-arms and im right under 50" and for the woods its damn hard not to catch stuff but when it comes to a track or open places its a dream to have it that wide. I dont know if that helps much but i try. good luck anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bansheePQ Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 in my opinion and with my experience i'll go with the 4-1 all the way.....less bump steer is so much fun to ride...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure everyone agrees with you, but you would have to order +3 arms to get 4 inches wide with those. Who wouldn't want less bumpsteer? But to sacrifice 2" inches for it? It all depends on your riding location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
