anybody know the factory moto beadlock offset?

Believe 3:5. That's basically the only 8" offset available.

Thought Moto bead locks were 8x9 tho? Thought I read something abut them having a goofy size. That's why guys run 400ex rear hubs with 8x8 wheels.

You may be right. With stock hubs and 3:5 bead locks the rear is 49" with factory spacers installed on a Moto axle. LSR axles make it 50" with same setup. So being a weird wheel size would make sense but I don't have any moto wheels to verify.

My moto is 48" wide in the rear with the 8" beadlocks. It's indeed a 3+5 offset.
I made 1" spacers to make it 50" in the rear.

Sloot is correct there and I was mistaken. Just checked my Moto axle setup on one quad again and it's 48" with 3:5 wheels. Had done the same and made spacers as well. So factory beadlocks must be a weird size.

I have been doing some research on the 8" beadlocks, and 8x8 with an 3+5 offset seems the be the common size.
