Stock Rear Wheel Offset

[CJM]

Trying to buy a new set of wheels/tires but I want the stock offset or as close as possible to it.

Does anyone know what 3+5 means when the wheel is 9x8

[honda400ex2003]

offset of the mounting plate inside. That would be an eight inch wide rim with 3 inside and 5 outside the rim or vise versa depending on how you want to run them to get a certain width. you could make a 2 inch difference depending. steve

Thanks for the help, but will they stick out further than a stock wheel?

[honda400ex2003]

stock rims are really close to 3 +5 offset.

so they would be about the same and you would not gain any width with them. If you had some 2.5+5.5 you would gain an inch. they are pretty hard to find though. I dont think i have ever actually seen any of those before lol. steve

Ah ok thats what I wanted to know.

Thank you so much for your help, im gonna go order me up a set of quadrocks and kenda klaws.

[honda400ex2003]

you will like the quadroks. I love mine, get the correct lugs if you get them though, the aftermarket ones are a bit longer and make it much easier to tighten them down. You will never have a problem with them bending, they have nice rolled edges and are about a 1/4" thick where they mount in the middle. steve

sorry it is so big but it shows the detail of the machine. if you want save it and open it to see it better.

Cool, thanks for the info.

I need longer studs or longer lugnuts?I was just gonna run the stock ones nuts and studs.

I heard you can reverse the kenda klaws too for sand traction, but I dont think the quadrocks have tapered holes on both sides? Could use flat nuts I guess..

[honda400ex2003]

lug nuts, if you look close you can see how far my stock ones go into the rim. lol. the quadroks are not tapered on both sides but if you really had to i suppose you could use some washers. I wouldnt do it personally but i have done it with my douglas ones and stuff. they just have holes though. steve

Main thing about the klaws was you could reverse them to make the almost like a sand/paddle tire.

Im sure ill figure something out.

[honda400ex2003]

im not saying you cant, i just have never had to try it with my razrs on them. i have seen stockers and stuff turned. when i use my douglas .190s i use washers with my lugs turned around to get them tight. lol. steve
