are you talking a 1+4 type rim to make the front narrower?

Yes I purchased +1 a-arms and they are going to be too wide for the harescrambles I race. I want to narrow the front by 1" on each side to get back to stock

Fatboy, thats the exact setup I'm running. +1 Houser arms with 4+1 offset wheels. Douglas and Hiper Tech both makes these wheels. I was running Douglas...

Jeff,

Thanks for hooking me up with those rims today. great doing business with you. I can't wait to get them.

Did you use the stock dust deals on your a-arms? I went to mount mine tonight and wasn't sure whether to use them in the mount or not.

What do a set of the rear hipers go for to match those fronts?

No thats my 250r! Don't let him fool you. I ran the stock rims on front with the +1 arms for a long time, the overall width is about the width of the bead versus th 4-1 offset. My rear beadlocks should be in anytime.:blah

Sorry about being off subject.

What is the stock offset of the 250R?

I've wondered and this info will also help me decide on what size A-arms to get.

Thanks

Does douglas have a less ugly wheel (like the billet center etc) in that offset for the 400EX?

would anyone know if there would be any clearence problems with the long travel houser a arms?

How about price???

thnx

would the hiper's be less expensive?

Lighter I would think.

Any opinions?
