Narrow front wheels for Stagger Rib - 20mm wide?

[Hallsy]

I've read that you need to cut the inner edge of the std (25mm?) width front B4 wheels to be able to fit Stagger Rib tyres.

A friend of mine gave me some spare wheels he had from his B2, the rears are no good as offset is a lot lower, but the fronts look the same, just thinner, 20mm, as opposed to 25mm of the ones that came on my B4.

Does it sound like the Stagger Ribs would fit straight onto these wheels? How much is normally trimmed off of the std wheels?

You can also buy the front wheels of schumacher for the cougar SV, the slim front wheels fit the B4 too, I'v bought slim staggers and slim wheels..

Thanks Martijn - I had read that as well, shame the manufacturers don't often mention actual widths, etc.

Just want to know if it's worth keeping these wheels I was given, I was going to run some staggered ribs for general messing around, and will use these wheels if suitable.

B2/B3 front wheels work great for staggers. They have a mm or so more offset, but that's just fine because staggers don't bulge over the side much, and extra width is always nice.
Be sure to get the white ones though.

Thanks Elvo, I'll put a set of staggers on them then
Not white though, they're yellow 5 spokes!

Hi, i have staggers on std wheels and i've cut nothing off anything and they're fine.
