Only 4.5J originally. Never seen any in 5.5J in 15 years! If you wanted a wider set I suppose you could have them re-rimmed?

I just wanted to make shure,,, I have 2 and if they made a wider wheel I would look for that

no the marathons were BUG offset but if your good you can find the Type 3 offset ones

type 1 offset in the front and type 3s in the rear would look good

I've got a set of 4.5" Marathons and the offset is 34mm. Were they also produced in a 46mm offset as stated by the OP and sharkskinman?

i think your backwards there. you'd run type 3 up front and type1 out back to get a staggered look. though it would only be like a 1/2"...ken....
