IDONTBELEIVEIT - 16/10/08 at 07:04 PM

I found the rear wheels on my westy sat to far into the wheel arches and it looked naff,changed offset to ET15 now they sit right but the fronts are now to far out the cycle wings

two choices

A:change offset on front two tyres (not sure if acceptable mr SVA)

B:modify cycle wing brk'ts
any opinions(facts) cheers wayno!!

You can have different offset wheels front and rear.
My westfield ran with very different offsets. If you have different tyre sizes though you need to carry one of each as spares or non at all...

Carry the one with the largest offset as a spare, and also an appropriately sized wheel spacer!
