What you are asking about will very noticeably affect your steering geometry in a negative way. By pushing out approx. 3" on each side when turning, it's going to turn with increased difficulty and at speed (what little there is) will definitely feel weird. Just an FYI

If you are determined to go wider, a more proper method would be getting the long travel kit from @jak9922 with longer A-arms, axles, and if in the budget much better shocks, you would gain more travel, ground clearance, and a notable better ride all without the negative effect of going from a 30mm OEM offset to 80mm offset.

That is the eventual plan.. Long Travel. For now I am going to install my spacers on my current 5+2's. I need to get a complete plan in place before I start the conversion to Long Travel.

I believe the buggy in that photo is the buggy @futzin bought.

Futz is an awesome friend, he will support me in whatever machine that makes me happy. Plus I am about 75% sure I am going with long travel on my P5.

I’ve occasionally run my straight axle tires but only till ‘first mud’ after snow season. The 2-5’s were only on rear and the stability of 12-12’s are really fun (snow running) till the crap starts flying. As trigger mentioned the front math won’t work……

Need help with Offset Math...

I know we have talked this issue into the ground. So much so that just thinking of it makes my head hurt... and yet I still need help. Sorry in advance.

I just need rough estimates, and a better understanding of this exact circumstance.

I currently have a 5+2 offset, if I switch that to a 2+5 offset. What is the effect?

Based on this chart I will be wider. Correct? If so how many inches wider from my CURRENT set up? Which with 5+2 is roughly 53 inches.
