Hello every one. Got a quick question. (i hope) Im looking at a-arms and wanna get my front end sitting at 50". I got some itp rims with 20x6-10 tires on them. I measured the back of the rim (hub part) was roughly 4" and the front (valve stem) was 1 1/2" roughly. Would +2 be enough? Or do i need +3? Any input or thought would be greatly appreciated. Also if any one happens to have what i need for a reasonable price i might be interested.
Thanks
Justin

+3 with 4-1 wheels will work good. with the front end compressed it will be real close to 50 inches.

you will be just under. it is MX legal. with a 3-2 wheel i am not sure but i think it will pass but you will have to preload the heck out of it to get through tech inspection and then drop it back down after tech inspection.

yeah dont really wanna be doing that. I was wondering tho what the total width would be with the 4-1 rims on with +3s. I had offset and was sitting at 48. So i dont wanna be back to square one again.

ah... okay. I'd still like to know what width +2 and 3:2 would achieve.

You would be somewhere around 49-49.5 with that setup.

Yep.

On a side note I use to run 3+2's with my front end and I was 52-53"
