I had 3:2 rims and now i hve 4:1 and i notice a little bit better handling through rough stuff. Not much though. I mainly just did it to get my quad to 50 inches. It was 52 with 3:2

This is where you will notice the difference in offset the most - the rough terrain. A 4:1 wheel has less leverage on the steering stem than a 3:2 wheel. So when you catch a rut, rock, or root, you won't feel as much feedback through the bars.

i race tt and i ran 3-2s for the whole season until i went to a national, then i was too wide, when i practiced before, i would push quite a bit so i messed with my sway bar, then when i put on the 4-1s, i almost rolled it the first time i turned, it helped me out alot
