nice free wheels. was wondering how the 50mm offset would work, would it rub on anything without spacers? stock is already 45mm offset.

12.7mm wider wheel (1/2"), with increased width split b/w inside & outside (6.35mm each), then pushed back 5mm due to higher offset. This means that the distance from the fender lip should be just about the same as the stock steelies... (1.35mm closer).
