Yes 113 front & rear.

I originally got 113 & 121 for the rear, but the face didn't change, just the machining where it mounts to the drum.

time for some rims i guess. now i have about 2½" off the beam-2 splines in the back

if i run 13 fr. and 21 back offset- can i get a beam length and tire size that is close to the pic at the very bottom, please

I *finally* got mine on the Vendo. I've had them for over a year now, but no time to do the 4" beam.

I'm running 121's in the front and 113's in the rear.
Like Fish says, the face doesn't change it's just the backspacing.

121's are a narrower track than the 113's Weird way to label them, but that's how it works.

Anyway here's a couple shots.

If you don't have anything drop me a PM and I can set you up.
