I can't give you any advice on offset or spacing. But I will say in my opinion you should keep the front tiers closer to stock width. The whole design in mud/snow/dirt/gravel is for the front tires to cut in and not float so you have more control. So unless you are going to use these ATVs for mud pits or something other than normal use you should rethink your tire sizes.

I understand what your saying but thats the whole point in going wide in the front so they dont cut in and u do float when your running around in 5 feet of snow front tires cutting in = getting stuck if the fronts float like the rears then its not that much of an issue
