I own some ss106's, 12" with the 4+3 offset. I think they look great with the swamplites mounted on them but some of the trails I ride are on the tight side of 50inches wide. My oem wheels are the standard aluminum, not the xt package. So.... I'm wondering what aftermarket wheel is the closest to our stock offset? I'm torn between mounting the lites onto the stock wheel or leaving it as is. My outlander measures 49" at the rear but I did notice that with oem wheels and the narrower stance it sure is easier to rip through the trails. By the way the fronts are 9" wide and the rears are 10" wide, so this limits me to any larger tire if I ever decide to change. Any opinions and firsthand experiences of switching back to stock width. .. thanks

I think the Douglas Rockstar are the closest. Maybe the Rattlesnakes are the same. This is from awhile back  http://aurorawheelers.com/gallery/data/510/medium/BRP800_Stock_vs_Rockstar_Wheel_Specs.jpg

Yama, Yes you are right.... However, you'll have to run 8" wide fronts and 10" wide rears for the right clearance.
If you go to a 4+3 offset you will have a far greater variety of tire availible to you.
I think the only OE width tires limit you to the 25" Bighorns and several of the Swamplites.
So, if gettin muddy is a concern, like if your ridding to the treestand or fishin hole, then stay with the OE width tires and the OE 2+4 and 2+5 width rims.
If mud is of no problem, go with the 4+3 offset on all 4 wheels.
Good Luck with it-

Thanks, I was concerned about the tight trails at races but I have it figured out now. Thanks a lot.
