quick dumb question

[kubiac3]

I have a pair of +2+1 a-arms and I was wondering if it was +2 inches on each side for a total of 4 inches wider or +2inches total for a total of 2 inches wider.

 

The reason I ask is Im buying rear wheel spacers so that the front isnt wider then the rear and I can run my new front rims and tires(rear rims are offset). If the a-arms widen the bike 4 inches total then I should buy +4 wider rear or +2 wider rear spacers?

 

Thanks.

If your a-arms are +2+1s than that is 2" per side wider than stock . But your front wheels could also add 1" each if they are +2+3 rims. if they are 3+2 offset then they are the stock offset

Well with my stock rims on in front then the rear and the front line up almost perfect. With both pairs of douglas rims on the front is much wider then the rear. I wanted to make sure before I ordered the wheel spacers so that when they got here they were right and not what I wanted.

Thanks.

The douglass should both be 2+3 so yeah then you just need 4" of spacers in the rear. The only thing is your axle will bend A lot easier with and extra 3" on non-axle on each side

I would just do it right the first time and spend $200 on a wider G-Force axle...

What is the benifit of running a wide rear, would'nt it be easier to trow a nearow rear end around a wide front than a wide rear.

Well you want your front and back tires to hit the same lines. It also will add stability

I agree with doing it right the first time, but 60 bucks for the shee to ride right for the winter is alot easier for now. Im not going to be jumping at all really in the winter just ice racing. The axle will have to wait.
