Default Replacing wheels on Raptor what offset should I go with?

I have a set of aftermarket wheels on the Raptor 660R now and they are slightly bent. I am looking at putting on a set of ITP .19 but what offset to use? I do mostly trail riding. opinions and why?

stock offset for fronts, wider wheels will increase "bump steer." get as much offset for the rears, that way it will make ur bike more stable.

i ride trails only

i went .190, +1 (1/2" each side) and its better without overexagerating the bumpsteer

I agree...the bumpsteer in the front offsets is terrible. Stay stock on the fronts.

Depends on how wide most of your trails are, if they're tight, stick with stock, if not go +1, just remember, the Raptor is narrow in the first place, even if you go a total of +2 you still won't be as wide as some of the 400's or 450's, just watch the bumpsteer, but like Bing said +1/2 each side might be better.
