Rear Rim Offsets

Debating on swapping from stock Moto rims to Hipers. I have been looking at the Hipers and all they have is 3:5 available in an 8x8 size. I could've sworn the stockers on the Moto were 3:6 and I'd rather not lose that if that's the case. I just can't recall at the moment and can't exactly go check right now on what mine has on it. Also, what is a good place to pick up some Hipers if anyone knows? Best price I can get w/mud plugs on the rears is about $500.

You are correct with the offset. If you don't want to lose the width get a set of stock 400EX/300EX hubs. The taper on the hub gets your 2" back. Also when using a Hiper with stock C-Dale hubs they need to be modified a little in order for them to bolt up flush to the hub.

My Hypers on a moto axle measure out to 49.5" they are 9inch Hypers though.Not sure of offsets but this is spacers I am using.I have the Douglas beadlocks on now with big tires and these are actually a bit over 50".
