Alright Im ready to blow my tax refund on tires and wheels and Im in a rut. I want and want being the key word 12" Motosport Alloys Trooper black wheels wraped in 28X12X12 Highlifter MST's.

Question one. Im having trouble on the offset do I need 5+2 all the way around or 2+5.
Question two. Does anybody know where I can buy said wheels with out having to wait till the end of April.

Kinda in a bind got a big ride planned for next Saturday and I wanna get some news shoes for my baby. I appreciate the help in advance.

I believe my ss112 are 5+2. Im running 26x9x12XTR's in the front, and 26x11 in the rear with no problems. I dont think you will have to worry about the tires rubbing, until you get to 29.5 or taller, and If they do rub, lift kits are cheap. I personally think that the 2+5 will make the bike too wide, but I could be wrong. Hope this helps! Ibelieve the 2+5 means 2" from the inside rim, to the hub, and 5" from the hub to the outside rim. This would give you a very deep dish effect, like the rear wheels of a sport quad.
