+2's make you so much more stable....depend on the trails you ride.....it might be so tight that maybe stock arms might be best....or mayb you ll be ok wit +2's......do you know what offset rim your using??

For MX the +2's will be great. As far as trail riding goes, it all depends on what type of trails you ride. The desert-type trails that I ride are a mix - some tighter and some more open. Like I said, you know the trails you ride better than we do. How wide are they in comparison to your quad right now?

well right now i have razors and razor 2's on 3:2 offset but when i get some 18's i will just use those for the track probibly on 4:1 offset

and i guess it depends on what trails i am riding,. i ride some wide ones and some pretty narrow ones but i dont really think that the extra 4inches will stop me from goin on most of the trails

here is what I am gonna do, I am building a trx250r, I will be using +2 a-arms, 3:2 w/ mx tires and 4:1 with xc tires, I am also gonna set the axle the widest and flip the tires around for a narrower stance for woods.

On my old 330r I had +3 housers and I trail rode the chit outta that thing. I think you will be fine with +2's.
