ITP Baja rear wheel offset on a Raptor??

I want to get a set of ITP Baja rims for the rear of my Raptor. My questions are these-
9" or 10" rims??? Which is better
Offsets??? What is the stock Raptor rim offset and will increasing the offset increase the chances of bending the axle???
Your knowledge, advince and opinions are appreciated!!!

ITP Baja rear wheel offset on a Raptor??

you can get those rims in either size... Which is better depends on what kind of terrain you ride. A 9 inch rim generally gives you one more inch of tire than the ten inch rim. As an example, i ride on some really rocky nasty terrain so my choice is an 8 inch rim so that most of the rocks will hit the tire sidewall rather than the rim. On my honda i run 9 inch rims and they are bent enough to feel while riding on pavement while my suzuki has 8 inch rims and they are holding up better.

As for the offset, i'm not sure if the offset will be different but it won't be so different that you are going to increase your chances of bending the axle.
