BANSHEE A-ARM WIDTH/WHEEL OFFSET

[Noobster]

So I'm working on my first Banshee build (2002 vintage) and I have found some mixed posts regarding A-Arm width and wheel offsets (I've tried to do my research before re-posting a topic).  My question is I currently have +2 +1 A-Arms on order and just ordered 4+1 offset front rims, does any run this setup?  My other ride is a DS450 which is the perfect width (roughly 48" at the front) for the tight trails I typically ride and I'm trying to match my shee as close as possible to this width.  Understanding that running 4+1 will take 1" off the width of the +2 A-Arms, I'm trying to get an idea if I'm running in circles here.  Maybe I should have just stuck with the stock 3+2 offsets?  Any help is appreciated!!

You've got the perfect setup imo. +2 arms and 4/1 wheels will get you to 46-48" and the 4/1 wheels will provide better handling and less bump steer compared to 3/2.
