It will depend on what truggy you're running. Some have 1/2" offset hexes designed to run 0" offset wheels (Such as the Associated RC8T) and some have 0" offset hexes designed to run 1/2" offset wheels (Such as the Losi 8T).

Overall, unless you run on a very small track, you want to run the wider setup. You should never run 1/2" offset hexes with 1/2" offset wheels though. That would put a lot of strain on the hubs and steering assembly. Zero and zero are okay. You want the pivot point to be close to the center of the wheel for best geometry and clearance.

I like the longer hexes with the zero rims, easier to remove the hex.

jhautz is apparently a faster typer than I. :)
