    +2+3 or +3+2 on +2 a arms.

    I run only MX and I am getting new a arms in a few days. Houser +2s. Well I have heard stock is 4:1 and +3+2. No on really knows.

    If +3+2 is stock then I planned on going to +2+3.

    Is this a bad idea. Will it give to much bumpsteer?

    Lets see some pics of+3+2 and +2+3. Also tell what they are.

    go with 3-2,

    and the stock offset is like 3.5-1.5 or something like that.

    i've got +2 a arms witht the 3-2 offset wheels and they are good.

    2-3 is really almost like flipping your rims around...one of my friends has his rims flipped.....and another has 2-3 wheels, They both have trouble with tierods bending. Because it puts more pressure on your spindle.

    And i also assume that it increases bumpsteer.

    i have my stock fronts flipped, and i have hit some things really hard and i haven't bent anything. and i really have no idea what bump steer even is, but i know it handles sweet. it's so stable.

    3+2 means that the inside is 3 and the put side is 2, 2+3 is the oppisite. most people run 3+2 on +2 a arms, it should bring you out to about 48-49" wide.2+3 will make you wider but give you alot of bump steer, the furthe out your offset is the more bump steer you will have, in other words 4+1 will handle the best and 2+3 will be the worst.
