Default Offset ?

I bent up my stock rims and am going to need some new rear rims. I have made up my mind and am going with just the original douglas .190. My question is I want to get the rims with an offset that will make my quad 2 inches wider on each side for a total of 4 inches. But I have no idea how offset works can somebody please point me in the right direction, thanks.

I think your rims would bend to easy if you offset the rears that much.Check out the douglas web site it has some info that might help you.

I have run ITP wheels with 1" more offset on each side for over a year now with no problems. No bends, no flats. I don't know if anyone makes one with 2" extra offset per side.

When an offset is listed, it will have 2 numbers for example, for a front Raptor rim

10x5, +2+3

That is a 10"diameter, 5 inch wide rim. It will be 2 inches from the inside of the OUTER bead to the mounting surface, and 3 inches from the inside of the INNER bead to the mounting surface.

Just call ITP and they will be able to answer/explain any more questions you may have.
