I would say call Motor Trike for this info.
I called TMS on this topic once and they didn't know the info, but said any good quality wheel shop could take the wheel off and get the measurements. If you find out that info, please share because I think others may be thinking about switching out wheels too.
The rear wheels are 18x8,according to the specs on MT's website. The offset is probably stamped in the inside of the wheel. If not,measure the backspace and let us know. Easy to figure out what you need from there.
Just for info,zero offset on an 8" wide wheel = 4.5" backspace.

thanks Dean that the same response I received from them , don't know ! and yet the wheels were custom made for them... go fig
Doc, I did some research and the wheels on our Stallions are from Billet Specialties, Inc. – www.billetspecialties.com - They are 18” x 8” with a 5” x 4.5” bolt pattern and 4.75” back space. They are a two piece and cost $500 each. Per the representative from Billet, pretty much any of their 18” wheels from their website, will work with those specs.
If you like the wheels that are on your Stallion you might just look at a different size tire. A small tire will give you more room inside the wheelwell and let more light come through.
