I'm running +2 +1 Leager a-arms up front. What do most people run as far brand and offset up front. I'm currently running factory 400EX front wheels up front.

if your riding mx you'll prob want to stick with the 20's up front ....

the offset depends ... if you have +3 arms and ur trying to stay within the 50" limit ... thats usally why ppl run the 4+1

You should be fine with the stock rims. They are durable and look decent. The offset of stock rims is fine with plus 2's. If you want an aftermarket wheel, hiper tech makes carbon fibers, and douglas make nice rims. But the stock ones will do just fine for mx.

The front rims are 10 inches in diameter. This is pretty much standard. As for tires (i didnt know if you asked about tires but the last post said something about 20's) I run 19in holeshots and they are fine. If you have a small tire on the rear ( 18in) then you might want to run a 18 or 19in tire on the front.

i have an burgard +3 front end and i'll be running 4-1 offest to stay withing 50" also will be running 20" klaws, if your gonna run mx i would highly suggest 20's or 19's in the front, and you wont have 2 worry about a 4-1 offset rim with those +2's unless you want your quad slimmer than it is

As stated above I am running +2, +1 Leager's a-arms w/Factory offset front wheels. I'm running 20" Holeshot MX's up front and 18" Turf Tammers on the rear w/8" Champion beadlockers on Lonestar axle. My question (sorry for not being a little clearer) but with my spacers in on the rear axle I'm about a 2" wider in the rear than the front. So with a 3 to 2 offset I was thinking it equal out. Would it make my quad handle better??? Or will it hardly make any difference between the 3 to 2 offset and the Honda Front Factory wheel?

that offset would put u an inch wider in the front on each side ...
but I wouldn't really recoment that with the offsets ... it will put stress on your spindles ... I could be wrong but thats my opinion ...

2-3 would be put you an inch wider, 3-2 is stock, 3 in on the inside 2 on the outside, if you want an inch on each, 2 on the inside 3 on the outside which will cause more bump steer and more bent tie rods
