I just received my new set of front wheels and tires from RMATV, I just put them on and holy cow, my front end is now 6 inches wider than the back. When I ordered these they did not give me a choice or tell me that they were offset so much. I can't stand them, I think I will have to send them back, the whole front brake assembly on each side is just hanging out in the open, not to mention it looks pretty silly with the front end that wide. Does anyone know of a place I can order a set that will be stock width or close to it. I measured it and the front with these wheels on was more than 5 inches wider than stock. Sure wish they would have told me when I ordered.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

 

Or you can keep 'em and order a Durablue 2+2 to bring the back end out. I have offset Douglas wheels, and with the Durablue and +2 +1 A-arms, my Raptor is 51" wide front and rear. Its great stability for MX racing.

 

DUNER 2003- i also recently purchased front sand tires from rocky mountain (dunetrackers)and wheels for my raptor and my wifes 440ex and both were offset as you said yours were .i have a plus 2"axle on my raptor so it works out good for me .if you are going to be using your raptor strictly for the dunes that extra width is a real plus on serious sidehilling and i would consider widening your axle to match the front i think you will be happy with the extra stability you will gain.last weekend at florence i ran a bowl that had water all the way around it and barely made it and i was glad i had that extra width to help keep me out of the water , my friends banshee got a little wet on that same bowl.the front brakes are slightly more exposed but for duning i dont think it will be a problem.
