I am planning on getting some Herrmann or Houser +2 a-arms. I was just wondering how much wider they are gonna be than the stock axle (stock wheels). I DO plan on buying an aftermarket axle in the near future its just that I dont have the money right now, so I will have to ride it that way for like a month or 2. Oh, and which axle would you rather have out of these two: Axcalibur or X-33? I was looking at a RPM Dominator but I am very poor and dont think I can afford it. But if I get more money than what I am expecting to then I will get a Dominator.

It is actually somewaht better for cornering if your front end is a lil wider than your rear. Makes it easier to "sling" the rear end around.

Go with the LSR axle over the Durablue - they are getting a very strong reputation for quality axles and the price difference is worth it in the long run if it saves you from breaking an axle during an MX.

That might be the case if the front wheels lined up with the rear but they dont, It looks like the front is a little narrower than the rear, but not my much.

And thanks everybody for your help.

Well if you get aftermarket rims, most people get it with more offset, which gives you about an inch on both sides. Its still will lokk funny but I think you will be able to live with it.

I'm just gonna guess that it'll be about 4" wider than it is right now.... So, get out the tape measure.
