^^Also, Check your other thread and use the calculator and tape measure on your current set up to see what amount of tuck or poke you can personally live with and what amount your fenders can handle.

here is your other thread i posted teh link to the offset/width calculator in, it will give you actual number to work with:
32mm vs 45 mm offset
