Aftermarket wheels, what offset?

I'm going to put some 26" tires on the BR this spring. I don't need more ground clearance but could use better traction. It looks like when you step up to 26" tires you get a bigger lug. That being said it looks like if I want to run 10" to 12" wide tires I'll also need to get aftermarket wheels. I've noticed that they list both a 5+2 and a 4+3 off set. Since I don't want to add a lift kit will the 4" offset wheels with 10" wide 26" tires rub on the front when turning?

Re: Aftermarket wheels, what offset?

Take a look at the pics in my gallery. The tires are stock 25 inches and i went with offset wheel as i like the wider stance. Guess its 2-3 inches wider per wheel? I can measure the width tonight or tomorrow. I do not have any lift and the front wheels do rub on thy backside of the footrest but onlu when turning and compressed. I am planning on a 2"lift this spring.

I'll probably stick with the narrower offset. Since I use it for hauling firewood I don't want to make it any higher so I'm not going to add a 2" lift.
