If you have narrow frame and a +3 front end, what offset do you need to have for the wheels to be at 50"?

Well if you have a narrow frame you would be narrower than a stock frame with 2 plus a-arms. I think with a narrow frame you can run all most 6plus a-arms with 4-1 off set.

You use the stock offset rims.
The pros run +4 aarms on there narrow frames so they run +4+1 rims.

Stock with +2 aarms and stock rims = 50
Stock with +3 aarms and +4+1 rims =50
narrow with +3 and stock rims = 50
narrow with +4 and +4+1 = 50

4 plus sounds right. But If you go to classifieds somebody is selling a roll design chassie and he say it had 6 plus a-arms on it and still legal.

Thanks, what is the off set on stock wheels? Is it 3-2 or 2-3?

The reason why I'm asking is. I plan to get a Houser long travel front end this winter or early next season. And I plan on getting a Predator (PRD) chassis (which is a "carbon copy" of a Laeger's), and it is narrow. And I would like to still use the same front, but not have to worry about major bump steer.

stock frame with +2's does not equal 50 inches. i dunno what offset my ITP's are but i do know the stance is 49 1/2 inches and that is wider than with it havin the stock rims on. the ITP's i have are deep dish lookin. if it sounds right i think they are 3+5 or somehting i dunno.

No it is PRD. It used to be called a Predator racing chassis, but Polaris came along and copyrighted the name Predator for ATV's. So they changed it to PRD.
