That deal about the spacers is required when you put an the RSS wheels on the front of an RT. I did that and the combo looks great in my opinion. Don't know about RT wheels going on an RSS.

The bolt pattern is the same, but the offset is different. They will fit, but they will not track the same, and the fenders will have to be moved. The wider spacing may affect your suspension. You should crank up the preload or switch to aftermarket shocks.

I have RT wheels on my RS - Len @ Cowtown put them on for me - can supply pictures if wanted and I am sure Len will tell you what you need if you decide to do it.

Thanks. I have dropped them an email and waiting for a reply.

It'll widen out an RS/GS a bit over an inch. It might just make the bike handle a lot better!
Narrowing-up an RT with the nicer-looking RS wheels;
Thanks Bob, good advice.
