Wheel offset?
Guys,
Have an '07 450 and I have an opportunity to get a set of 0 mile take-offs of the '13 450's wheels exceedingly cheap. Same 8.5 x 19 as the ones I have but the offset is 62mm vs 56mm on my existing wheels.
Looking around at things it doesn't seem like 6mm will make much difference, it's a pretty small amount and there is clearly room for much larger and wider tire and wheel combinations. But before pulling the trigger I thought I'd ask.

Thanks, was already aware of that and in this case I know the exact difference in offset. It was more a question of whether or not it would fit with the slightly less offset or if it would cause any issues.
I went ahead and bought them, $250 for a set of 4, couldn't pass up that price.
Here's a pic of them.
