Hi Jarrid,
I had a chance to measure my wheel offset on the weekend. (Remember 14x6
minilite clones)
It is 3.75 inches (from the back face of the hub to the innermost edge of
the wheel).
You said 4in offset would work for you, but my front wheels sit out from the
front guards by about an inch! The police here will put me off the road for
that, not to mention the spray coming off the tyres on a wet road. When you
said you had plenty of room, you meant in this dimension didn't you?
With my offset I have more than an inch space between the inside of the
wheel and the top ball joint, so I could manage 4.75 in offset if I had to.

Have you flared out your front guards, or is the track different between
your series 2 and my series 3?
Curiouser and curiouser....
Paul.
