i want to say they are +2?, i forgot to measure it last time i was home. How wide would a +3 be? and how wide would a +2 be?

it will be wide enough but it should be wider esp since you have those kind of rims on there. either you dont have +2 a-arms or your ride height is way too high...

well i measured it while it was up on my stand, didn't know that would make that much of a difference

Yes, you have to measure it while you are sitting on it. Thats why at Nationals when you go through tech inspection, they make you RIDE it through the spreader bar.
if you dont have someone who can measure while you are sitting on it, then sit on it and turn the bars a few times and bounce up and down, get off and then measure... it wont be too far off
