are all fatboy rims the same offset. i am looking to be running 31s eventually but need to pick some alloys. i wanted steel modulars but i cant find any so fatboy rims look like my only option. i am needing to get 8j rims i think

I think fatboys only come in 9 or 10 j Oh and you will need 9j for 31/10.50

10j will be ok but tight to fit, John will pull his face fitting them lol, godzuki was on 9J and tight to fit but ok, never come off even when dropped to 15 PSI.
And asking isnt really a helping out if you know what i mean.
not fatboy rims as he staes so you knock him down bit maybe, 8j better aswell

Off sets are all different. Depends on the make/model of wheel.
7j or 8j are fine for 31s. When buying alloys remember that some alloys are have thicker centres than others and may require longer studs.

The backspacing is usually 110mm, the offset then depends on the width of the rim. Some rims require sleeved nuts which can cost a fair bit, I had a set like that and ended up selling them on and getting some steels.

The steel modular do tend to be a better option as they usually have 95mm backspacing.
