got some new douglas rims and kenda klaw tires on the way and am going to order some wheel spacers. was thinking of putting +5 in the rear, is this going to hurt the way my blaster corners or handles?
rear wider than front?

You really want the front to be a touch wider than the back. If the back is wider then it will not want to turn very well.
turning really doesnt matter if the wheels are spinning. i had a 400 ex with with a long axel $ i think and it handled fine. no problem
was +3 a noticable improvement? are you happy with it? i been having a hell of a time deciding on +3 or +5
dude get +5 for the rear and a diamond j kit you wont regret it. i ran spacers on my front wheels and not only does it look retarded, your drums or calipers (depending on year) are just out for every rock to bash against.
hey i noticed a large improvment, not tippy at all.
but plus 5 would be cool to, althou in tight trails it might suck a little.

how much wider is the front if you turn the wheels inside out?
i heard u can doo this on the 88-02 but not 03 +

i would go a bit wider in the front so if you trail ride like i do you need to git in to tight places so if you know your front will git into it than your back will too, if you went wider in the back i'd be goin and git the front thru and then the back would git hung up, and on a blasty,no reverse 
It would depend on the type of riding. I didnt want to deal with all the wheel spacers and stuff so i just run a stock banshee axle. it has bee nso nice i ride in the mountians by my house and have no problems with the trails. also it has balenced it out so it doesnt want to roll on her side as easy
can someone explain to me this damn "turn the wheels" how does that work i meani cant picture it
=))
Take the wheels off turn them around backwards put them back on its that simple. the wheels are offset towards the outside normally so when you flip it around its off set towards the inside making the stance wider. If you also put the wheels on the other side of the bike you can keep the tred going the right direction.
heres a pic of mine with the front wheels flipped
you get an inch on each side. you can do it with every blaster (88-06).
for the 88-02 you just flip them, but for the 03-06 you need flush stems, because of the calipers.
