nothing, its preference. +3's with 4-1 offset wheels handle like +2s with 3-2 offset wheels. people will say theres a difference couse the offset but there isnt. i like the +3 a arms 4-1 offset wheels front end better though

are both setups the same width..i think like 49 in..correct me if im wrong...
but if i think about it seems like both of the setups are both same in width because with the +3 ur gaining an inch in a arm length but ur losing an inch in the wheels with the 4:1 offset from the stock offset....but with the +2 ur losing an inch in a arm length from the +3 but ur gaining an inch over the 3:2 stock offset....

kinda hard to explain what i think...lol

if you want to use the stock wheels get +2. but +3 with the 4:1 offset is best and will handle best but you have to buy new wheels now.

stock wheels are not 3-2s. they're 3.5-1.5 right in between 3-2 and 4-1. i never noticed a difference in 3-2 over 4-1 and i have 4-1s.

and yes +2s with 3-2s are the same as +3s with 4-1s as far as i know

I've measured my stock wheels and they are NOT 3-2. They are more like 4.5-2.5.

My ITP Baja's are 4-1.5 in actual measurements.

My opinion is that +3 with 4-1 is better because it gives you more options.

I'm running a narrow front with +3 and 4-1 rims.
