I know my front Rims on the 400 are offset. I am in need of some new ones, but i do not know the offset or backspacing. Anyone know how to tell. They were on the bike when i got them, and i like the stance it gives, I want to stay with a similar rim. Thanks

you could measure the space from the front and the back from the center. if you have a 2 in offset it is back in the rim 2 more from stock i think which would make a 3 inches in front and 2 inches in back on a front rim. I think that is how you could do it. steve

I think the stock ones are 5" wide in the front with a 1 " in from front side and 4" backspace. the rears I think are 4 on each side with an 8" rim that is 9" tall in Dia. I think. steve

fronts are 3:2's stock and rears are 4:5s. first number representing the inside of a mounted rim. ;)
