The_Menace Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I have just bought a series 3 88" for trialling (RTV) and have been advised to change the front rims from the standard SWB rims to improve the turning circle by having a smaller distance, inner side of nave plate to inner edge of rim. I have been advised the following: 1 ton rims - Perfect but expensive 8 spokes - better but offset varies modulars - same as 8 spokes LWB rims - i have had mixed reports. Can anyone shed any light on the difference between LWB and SWB rims as far as the offset goes, I will be fitting 750r16 tyres.

Les Henson Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 As far as I know - LWB rims have 1/2" more offset. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Menace Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 As far as I know - LWB rims have 1/2" more offset.Les. So is that 1/2" more on the outside , meaning 1/2" less on the inside as offset is usually measured from outside of nave plate to outer rim?
