MKIII Wheel Offset- CMA

Hi All-

I’ve been pondering a question that is probably very basic for many of you, and perhaps I am overthinking the issue, but hoping someone can give me what I am sure is a simple answer..

I understand that Norton has offset the rims from the hubs on the Commando, and that my MKIII has a specific amount to consider when building the spoke wheels.

My bike has CMA wheels, and they were mounted by a shop that specialized in Norton’s many years ago.

Offset is straightforward process for the experienced wheel builder when replacing the stock rims. How is the offset established with mag wheels such as those on my bike? Common sense tells me that it could be accomplished with axle spacers to some degree. But enough to keep both wheels tracking in the same line and in the center of the swing arm?

I apologize if I am missing something basic here, but just trying to better understand the process.

Thanks for sharing wisdom. I’m always trying to learn more about these bikes.

Cannot say anything about using offset wheel spaces with these, you could look at just the rear wheel with a straight edge on both sides, either the wheel was built (cast) offset just like a wire spoke wheel or equal each side.
You are overthinking this it doesn't matter if the wheel hubs are both on centre or not, what's important is that the wheel rims track the same (allowing for the difference in rim widths).

Ok thanks. Will double check that. Makes sense now that I think about it..
