Wheel offset?

[Dogbytes]

BMW R80 ST, rear wheel.
Are these laced centrally or is there an offset?
If there is an offset, what is it?

Well that would work if I was about to take the wheel apart - but I'm trying to put it together!

The 3 stud on my G/S is central , but like the R100R / GS you could probably pull it over 5 mm if you wanted to fit a wider rear tire or a aftermarket shock - a 120 hits my Ohllins .

Thanks for that.

I'm going to use a Wilbers 633 and a 130 back tyre - so moving it over might be worth doing. I'll make a decision today as Terry the wheel-builder is poised, spokes in hand, awaiting my decision!

5mm offset it will be.

FYI I called the suspension supplier today and he measured a Wilbers 633 spring for me - they're 80mm diameter, apparently. That's 10mm bigger than the standard one that's on there at the moment.
