What offset rims should I specify if I'm aiming for 50" total width? I have a +4 axle and am getting +2 arms.

As a side note, what is the importance of beadlocks on the rear for MX? I'm leaning towards the ITP T-9 Baja rims.

Quick input would be appreciated. I need to order ASAP. Thanks!

beadlocks on the rear for mx holds the tire on, especially for low tire pressures etc, and can really help out

if you have +2 a-arms ud want 3+2 wheels, even though the 4+1 wheels would perform better, but you wont be at 50 if you use those

as for the rear, i believe you can still run the stock offset rears, i know you can if you have an adjustable axle obviously

what type of wheels are you going with? Hipers i hope!? :macho

if you get bajas they are offsets in the front 2+3 and i think in the back 3+6

The Baja rims have inner and outer reinforcement rings though. They should be just as hard to bend. I've bent a set of beadlocks were the hub bolts up before.
