loking at aftermarket a-arms and wondering how wide your raptor is w/ them i want +2's but i found a set of +3 LSR rec a-arms w/ shocks. tie rods all that good stuff for a decent price and he is going to throw in an axle and the stuff is hardly used

 

If you go with +3 a-arms on a Raptor, you must run 4/1 offset wheels to be 50" wide in the front. With +2 a-arms, you can run 3/2 offset wheels.

 

do i have to run off set wheels though.. i mean i want it wider but idk if i wanted to go +3 on each side the guy said w/ the arms it would run 49 1/4 wide which is ok.. w/ me idc just need it wider than stock

 

my +2's run 48 in wide with stock wheels

 

UBetrun, you said that running +2 with the 3/2 offset rim you will be out to 50" wide correct? Also, what does the numbers 3/2 mean. What do they stand for. Thanks

 

3/2 is the offset. 3 inches from the outside of the rim to the mounting location, 2 inches from the inside.

 

3/2 means 3" inside and 2" outside, 4/1 covers more of the brake caliper and isn't as wide overall. Stock front wheels are somewhere between 3/2 and 4/1. With +2 and 3/2, you will be 48- 50". With +3 and 4/1, you will be 48- 50". You can fine tune those numbers depending on front shocks and preload.

 

I have +3s and 3/2s and sat down in the front a bit with zps shocks it measures 53.5"

 

What about the rear rim offset specs, what are some popular offset numbers for rear rims. I got a durablue elininator 2+2 spaced out all the wayI want to acheive the same width as the +2 up front with 3/2 offset rims.
