front wider or back wider?
I presume you are refering to your Raptor 660's? In my opinion, the rear end of the Raptor is pathetically narrow! (Not sure what Yamaha was thinking???) A set of wheel spacers will fix that real quick.
If I owned that machine, I would widen the front also, but you are looking at a very large outlay of $$$, for a-arms and new shocks. A friend of mine turned his front rims around, for a couple of extra inches up front (not a solution I really like). That or wheel spacers up front might lead to a lot of bump-steer.
Another solution might be some wider tires and rims with a greater offset. I run ITP rims and Holeshot tires on all my big sport machines. This makes the bikes +3 in the rear and +2 up front.

Most folks agree that it is better to have the front slightly wider. Gives better stability at high speed, and handles better in corners.
I ride mostly sand, so when I bought tires and wheels for my Raptor for the sand I got a healthy offset with wide razors up front. Then I put 1 1/2" lightweight spacers on the rear. Handles fine now, takes the feeling of high CG away.
