You CAN put a wider offset on it. Whether you <u>should</u> or not is another question.

A wider offset always puts more stress on components such as ball joints(Front and IRS) and wheel bearings. The nature of the solid axle makes it less susceptible to the added stress,but it still adds stress to the axle(wheel) bearing. How much stress depends on the offset. Also with IRS the added offset affects suspension geometry and puts more load/leverage on the shock/spring. So if your spring isn't adjustable you will notice more sag and it most likely will feel mushy. When I went from stock to 4+2 front and 5+3 rear I had to turn up the springs 2 clicks front and rear. And that isn't near a 2+5 offest.
