Hey guys I just bought new front wheels for my 300ex. The guy I purchased from wanted to know if I want a 3:2 offset or a 4:1. I do mainly trail riding, high-speed gravel roading, and lots of high speed riding around the farm and at my cottage. I know the stock offset was 3:2, but a 4:1 have advantages in my situation. PLEASE HELP. THNAKS

 

typo, i meant to say: "does a 4:1 offset have advantages, or should i stick with 3:2. I sooner i get a response the sooner i can ride!!! THANKS

 

4 in and 1 out would be narrower, so it will get thru the trees earlier. It will be a little more tippy, and the tires may(might) hit the tie rods when turned all the way.

I would stick with 3 in and 2 out.

 

I agree with sticking to a 3+2 offset. The 300ex doesn't have any competition when it comes to turning in the trails with stock wheels. No need to go to a 4+1. Plus, you will keep your stability when sliding and in off-camber situations.
