hiper offset

[Tubsy]

hey guys just wondering its a stupid question but i was wondering when they say 3+6 offset what does that exactly mean. Like 3 inches of the hub or what?

thanks

3" of wheel sticking in from hub, 6" of wheel sticking out.

make sense?

All measurements are take from the wheel side of the hub.

The first number(3") is the measurement from the hub to where the tire bead seats on the inside of the wheel.

The second number(6") is just the opposite. This is the measurement to the bead on the outside of the wheel.

4+5 is closest to stock wheel offset.

so why get a wider axle, when the same can be accomplished with wheel offset??

just a debate I've been having with another rider, and wondering other opinions

So 4+1 is the closest to stock? they dont just make stock offset?

I believe 3+2 is stock on fronts 4+1 narrows it up

I copied/pasted this from one of my previous posts:

Alright, I finally got the wheel measurements. They should be really close even though my Hipers still had tires on them.

Wheel offsets are expressed inside depth + outside depth in that order measured from the hub side of the wheel to where the bead seats.

Stock wheels:

10x5.5" wheel
3 3/4 + 1 3/4 offset

Hipers(marketed as a 4+1):

10x5" wheel
3 5/8 + 1 3/8" offset

What is stock rear offset?

If Im thinking correctly and the 1 is the amount of backspace, wouldnt a 4+1 make the front wider?

[atvmxr]

no its the other way, only 1" sticking out. allows you to run +3 arm, but still keep the 50" max width for ATVA rules...

I see so its 4" of backspace. Thanks for the correction.
