I need some help on finding out what the best setup is for some trail racing and hitting those bigger hills. I'm pretty sure I want +3's but I don't understand the "offset" with the rims. Just give me some ideas on how yall have yours setup for this stuff. lol, I don't want any arguements on 400ex conversions either!!!

play nice!!!

300ex runs great with +3 a-arms & 4:1 offset wheels.

swap em out for 3:2 offset and your atv is another 2 inches wider in the dunes.

Heres a quick sketch of wheel offset.

4:1 = 5" wide wheel w/ the center of the hub set 4" in from the inside face of the wheel.

3:2 = 5" wide wheel w/ the center of the hub set 3" in from the inside face of the wheel.
