off set rims

[teirboss]

I ride a 2001 ex. have works triple rates on the front with stock a-arms. I want to get a set of front off set rims. I am trying to find out #1 what they cost #2 were do I get them, #3 are these type of rims a good idea or not. I primarily ride in the woods. I never jump it or do anything to radical. I am trying to widen it to improve the handling.

I've heard nothing but bad things about off-set rims. They make the tire grab at everything in the trail and put more stress on the bearings.

did it help ur steering... did u notice any bump steer or anything i am gettin a +1 off set when i order mine.....

I have ITP offsets. They increase your width 2 inches; 1 on each side, and seem to help it handle better. No problems in the woods either.:devil

i did notice a bit of bump steer.... but i think it helped the handeling enough to make them the worth it....handles 10 times better thanb stock too..

#51, i saw the pic and your front end looked alot wider than +2. can you get them so it is +2 on each side instead of +1? im lookin for a cheap way to widen up the front end so are these really worth it? will tehy work with my 21x7x10 razr fronts? later

I have ITP wheels turned inside out with reinforcing rings welded in for more offset, I have works triple rates also. I don't feel any bumpsteer or any negative effects. I have raced CMRC pro class for 2 years with no problems!

P.S. you need to drill a hole to move the valve stem to the other side of the wheel and put a low profile stem in the old stem hole.
