Front Wheel Offset Question
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I just ordered some Sand Star fronts and douglas wheels. They send out wheels with an 2.0 + 4.0 offset. Will there be any issues with this offset, or is it just going to make it a bit wider on the front end? Thanks for your help.

I think to make it wider it would be a 4-2 offset but I might be wrong. 2 being the backspacing.

So now I have the wheels, and the deep side of the wheel goes on the outside, therefore making the front end wider. Does anyone know of any issues I may have, or am I worrying for nothing?

You'll get a lot of bump steer with that offset. I got those exact offset to widen out my z400 and I hated it. Your LTR must be like 54" wide now in the front.

What do you mean bump steer? And yeah it is pretty wide on the front end with thesee wheels. Although width isnt a big concern for the sand.

Bump steer is when your riding hit a bump and it feels like the Wheeler wants to steer its self or it ripes the bars from your hands. This is the reason they sell steering stabilizers correct me if I am wrong please.
