Time to buy some beadlocks for my build but not sure on off set. I have +2 lsr race arms and 2+2 lsr axle. What front and rear off set is ideal and how wide will it put me? Id like to stay on the wide side of xc width

+2's and 4-1's puts you at about 47".

48 inches would be considered too wide you fellas think?

I chose stock offset when I bought my wheels...If I had it to do over, I would go with the 4-1.

The stock wheels are 5.5". The offset is 3 3/4-1 3/4. I prefer 4-1's.

Stock width is what 46 inches?

About 44" in the front and 46" in the rear. Honda should've had +1 arms stock.

Im pretty sure my rear rims are stock silver R rims and i like that width in the woods with my +4 axle and im not sure of the front offset off hand

I mostly run mine with the lsr axle adjusted all the way in which I think is +1 overall. So I'm about 47" front and rear.

I think 47 is pretty good . So you put both of the spacers on the axle on the outside of the hub with stock offset and youre about 47 is what youre saying rk?

4:1 rims are the best performance geometry wise. I would go that route. 2:3 gets you free width and corner stability. But I don't think it's worth the sacrifice of bump steer. ( exaggerated bump steer.)

So 4+1 offset in front and rear is my best bet with the extended arms/axle it seems

If you are running stock height tires ,the stock offset would be best,if your running short mx tires 4+1 would work best. Wheel offset has nothing to do with bumpsteer .from the factory with stock height tires the wheels have a slight amount of scrub which gives you a feel for the terrain and makes the tires some what self centering.4+1s with stock height tires put the tires in a neutral position with no scrub and no self centering ,some people like this feel. When running short tires 4+1s correct the change in scrub and put it back to were the factory had it.look up kingpin inclination and you may understand what Im saying.

I could spend all day researching atv geometry and I would still be lost lol. That's why I haven't upgraded my front end because I'm sure I would mess it up.

Ill check that out tonight fred. My front rims are marked 10x5 and look like 3+2 and my rear looks like oem honda D.I.D. marked 9x8 and i believe is also 3+2. The way i had my spacers the front i think was a tad wider and 48 inches but thats a vague memory. I thought it was great for fast woods racing
