I'm going to be ordering suspension this week and I'm confused on the width of the quad. I'm trying to get +2.5 in the front,which is supposed to put me at 50 inches and for the rear I'm confused on what width axle to buy because the widest axle I see available is a +4 but that wouldnt put me at 50? Yet again confused because if a +2.5 in the front makes the front end 50 inches, and the widest you can go in the rear is +4 then that would put it at what? What about a +3.5 axle? Thanks all.

2.5 in the front will get you between 49 & 50 with 2:3 offset rims and a +4 axle will get you 50 with stock offset rims, 52ish with most aftermarket rims unless you move the spacers around

Stock offset on honda is 3:2, I dont know about the rear, If I do +2.5 in the front and +3.5 in the rear they should be excactly the same right?

With stock rims all the way around, I'd say u'd be around 2.5-3" wider in the back.

Yes they do, my 8" douglas beadlocks widen my rear end about an inch on each side.

I'm actually going to go with laeger's axle. Its 289.00 with a lifetime warranty, adjustable from +1 to +4 and the lifetime warranty is just as legit as the RPM and LSR.
