peak-j Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 I mounted up the new tires today, and with the offset of the wheels, it is now wider than the front. I could flip them or leave them, but if I leave them I need to make up for the front end which is now narrower than the front by quite a bit. I noticed it wanted to push a little bit while turning, which I expected. Not to sure if I like the wide look, probably gained four inches in width. Do any of you guys have pics of your banshee's with the wider stance. I also ride a few trails, don't do any of that high flying shit either, sometimes dunes, and just messing around. Should I buy different wheels for the rear or maybe wider a -arms for the front? Also, what a-arms would you guys recommend for my riding? I would like to see some pics if anyone has some of their wider stance banshee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see some pics if anyone has some of their wider stance banshee. In a couple weeks Im getting +3 a arms in the front and using the 3.5 offset side of the rears to widen it. Cant reverse the front because of the valve stems. I want mine to have nearly a square wheel base, but I ride really hard turns mostly trails/woods. If you want to make the front wider, you need spacers or + a arms. Im going to post pictures, because the whole thing is getting made over.

peak-j Posted June 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Yeah, I have seen the spacers but i've seen a lot of shit talk about them also. I also ride more trails than anything else. I did a search on the spacers earlier, seems like some like them and others don't. I don't know shit about them so I can't comment. That is one of my options but kinda skeptical about them, but then again I don't do a lot big jumping and stuff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimbAnyHill Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 I've also heard alot of shit about the offset rims. I ride dunes but lots of trails as well. I sit wide all around.. I'm +2 all around as well as the offsets & happy with the set up.. No complaints here! You can flip those front stems around and use them as plugs. Flip the rim, drill holes and simply install new air valves. Here's an ok look at my wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlsolstice Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 I havent really heard alot of good about offset rims. They are not that good on your ball joints especially if ur still running stock a-arms. I recentlly put a set of +2+1 full flight a- arms on my shee and I love them. They are also backed by a liftime warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadillacBanshee Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 I just went out and tried my new offset rims this weekend and they felt really good. When i rode through rough trails and big rocks it was a little bit stiffer to stear but besides that it was a way smoother ride all around.

I have heim joints on my Quicksands so no worries there [also lifetime warranty] The terrain on my trails is pretty ruff so I'm not going to get much of a smooth ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayzx10r Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 (edited) Here is mine with the LSR +2axle as well as offset wheels. I like how the camera added a couple of inches.... :sweat: Click on the photo for a larger pic. Edited June 29, 2007 by jayzx750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
