what wheel offset should i go with?

[450r07]

hey everyone i was just wanting some input on what wheel offset i should go with after i go to +1 a arms. I was thinking 4+1 but what do you guys think?

if i'm not mistaken +1 a-arms and then true 4:1 wheels will put you like back to stock width but with better handling.

Are you racing XC or just trail riding? 4+1 if you're racing. 4+1 or 3+2 will be fine if you're just playing.

I like 4:1. It will make the bike ride much better.

thanks for the info guys, and yes i am racing XC so i want to be close to stock so i can scoot through the woods.

Most of the time you only need 4+1 offset when running long travel a-arms. This is because the a-arms are at the maximum length with 4+1 offset wheels and still stay within 50in. This way you can get better leverage ratios with longer shocks.
