for your front, you should go with a 4-1 or stock offset at the very most. Do NOT run an offset +1 rim on the front of your bike or it will handle like garbage. Believe me I tried it.

And as for your rear, yes that razr mx rear will fit on your 8x8 rim. I am using that exact setup right now

A 2-3 would be wider, but handle worse, the 4-1 combo is the least widest but handles the best! I would recommend stock or 4-1. Stock is something odd like 4-1.5 or something along those lines.

trust me man, it will make your handling way worse. Lots of bump steer especially. Plus it puts alot more stress on your spindles. I had to replace a set of spindles after running those. You can do what you want man, but Im telling you from experience that the extra inch you gain by running those rims is going to be offset by the loss of handling you experience while running them.

By running those rims youre changing the pivot leverage on the shocks as well, affecting how they handle (usually making them softer). You mentioned that you have +2's. Those A-Arms and an extended axle are all you need man. Run the stock offset and call it a day...
