a

No, you get them custom made to you. I went for max 2.5" off set which is big. I have some pics somewhere showing the difference, I'll see if I can dig them out.

The off set is vital as due to the bigger tyres you get a much smaller turning circle, Getting the larger off set compensates for that and they dont rub on the arches at all
