HOW FAR TO THE SIDE WILL A DIPSEY RUN???

II've changed my spread a little this year. Instead of 4drs and a couple of fireline slidedivers, I'm only running 2 drs, straight back off each corner, with a SWR set-up on each. Then I'm running a wire dipsey at #2 and a fireline slidediver at #4 off each side. I have 2 half-cores and 2 full cores available to add lines when I have more fishermen, or vary the spread. Since the SWR rig will put the lure 100-125 ft behind the ball, I'm wondering if I'm running a risk of a really ugly snafu with the wire dipsey and the SWR. How far to the side will a wire dipsey at #2 run?? I realize that this will depend on the lure used and boat speed, but I'm looking for general guidelines. I set my divers very carefully, putting the diver in the water, then putting the rod in the holder and backing off the drag so that the diver tracks properly and goes down slowly. I know that you're supposed to set "outside-in", but I always set the SWRs first, as I can get them down where I want them very quickly. I'm also running a center DR with the temp probe and a large flasher attached to the ball with no fly.

Thanks--Dave
