• Looking into the new hub setup, but I can not remember the offset wanted for the LT500 7" wide rims, was it 3"/ 4" or 4"/ 3".

• I think mine are 3"/4".  This is putting more stress on the hubs, ball joints etc....  I think you would want 4"/3" for the less stress inducing setup... IMO.

• 3.5-3.5 would be the best. If I remember rite the offset with the wheels flipped didnt clear the caliper, but a washer made it work. So if you got a set of centered wheels they should work. There is also a ball joint clearance issue I would watch for .
  The old douglas wheels were 3-4, I ran them flipped for a 4-3.

  Thanks Carl 3"/ 4"
  
  Unfortunately,  Dave Kuskie called me and told me that the 7" offset rims are not made any more, only the Centered 3.500"/ 3.500" on any make Suzuki/ Honda/ Yamaha....
