I ran +2 AArms last year, this year I have +3 aarms and would like to buy a new set of FT tires for the front, not sure on if I Even Can???

isnt that going to set my width well over 50 inches?? :huh :confused:

right now I have a 3/2 offset, I know I really need a 4/1, I couldnt find a Doulgas rim that had the offset when we called to order that last set.I dont want t obe so WIDE that Im pushin like crazy :scary:
What are my options besides +2 Aarms, thats not an option ;) Or am I stuck using a different tire :ermm:

Can some one tell we what options for wheels I would have that come a 4/1 offset??? A FT tire is pretty wide itself,so my concern is ,will I STILL be over the 50 in mark even with a 4/1 offset wheel?? :confused:

My wheels cant be turned

also worry about being wider in the front than your rear,this will tighten you up in the center of the turn and you will get a push coming off the turn,unless you run on a slick surface......

My front has an offset from the rear,about 2 inches
I ran the same measurements before I had the AArms, the only difference now is its a true offset not a wheel spacer nowand I had astock Axle then . I really liked this set up for MX, but I havent rode it with the +4 Axle FT racing yet.

you'll probalby be right at 50 inches. If its just a tad over,when you got threw tech inspection, raise it up as if you were goin to the mx track, it makes it a bit narrower. Altho you would be better off just running 4-1 wheels.

Shamrock beadlocks make a true 4 1 offset. I had a set for a while.
