I have a set of front Douglas .190 rims with a 4-1 offset mounted with 80% tread Grooved radials. These fit honda bolt pattern. Im looking to trade for a set of something for MX but with a 3-2 offset rim, My quad will be too wide for MX with a 4-1 offset with my a-arms. Let me know what you have. May sell outright for the right price.

the 4-1 offset will make it skinnier than a 3-2

The rims are a 4-1 offset, they are offset so much you can see the front calipers sticking out. Im running +3 Lonestar DC-4 Long travel a-arms.

Could you post a pic I would be interested if I can flip them back.

well i dont know what to tell you guys. there are no drill holes or anything on the inside of the rim suggesting that someone put in an air stem backwards and flipped the rim and put in another air stem. The air stem is on the outside of the rim and the brake calipers stick out on the inside. So im thinking that douglas at one time or another(maybe they still do) made a rim like this.

http://www.exriders.com/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=224575 those are some pictures of a 250x with 3-2 offset rims ... you can see how the front brake calipers are almost completely exposed. ... the quad is no longer for sale, he decided to keep it:D

i'm not sure what a stock 400 width is up front but i think its just under 44". so add 2-3 offset rims and thats shy of 48", add +3 a-arms and your almost 54" wide. i think you should look for a set of 4-1 offset rims, that would keep it under 50inches
