Plus 3's put you pretty wide. If you are strictly riding MX then right on. But......if you ride anything else, I'd stick with 2's or 1's.

Personally I like my +2/+1 arms. I think mine is right around 48" wide. But it mainly depends on how and where you ride. Just my .02 cents

Your front end is a bit narrower than rear, as long as you dont go wider than 48 to 49" you should be good on trails, my nerf bars put me at 50"

i ride almost nothing but trails, some dunes and gravel pits but i love the +3 +1 i have. there not burguard but they are sweet, i have yet to see a trail that is too tight, my friends stock ds650 is wider than mine with 6 inches added to it, you will be fine with +3's if thats what you want, i live in northeren michigan these are tight woods!!!

You could do +3 arms and 4/1 offset rims to keep the width under control.

i agree with them. that would be the best set up, handling wise.

dude, i live in north jersey and that quad will never fit in the woods. if your living in jersey man id get +1, depends on where in the state tho. down south in the pine barrens id get +2 but if your like the rest of us, riding tight rocky trails +1 would be the way to go. my friend has +2 up here and its too tight. +1 A++

cant go wrong with +1 or +2s but atleast with +1s you can allways put spacers in the front to make it however wide you want it, but keep in mind that if you go longer the lower it will sit if you are using stock length shocks and you will also have to buy longer brake lines just my .02
