The narrow beadlocks will not work very well with the moab 40s, as they are quite wide. The moab xls are much taller and narrower.

Too much offset on the cheyennes in what direction? I want the track to be wider than the commandos can offer...

Ah...I gotcha. You want more offset then, not less. Then the Cheyennes might be enough for you, of course they have the usual 1/2" as do most 40 series, including the Commandos. It looks like it has less offset on the Commandos for some reason, but its the same as a offset Velocity or the Cheyennes. 1/2" offset is quite a bit.

I used Axial Over sized beadlocks on my E-revo & on the front the inner beadlock ring rubbed on the front suspension.

the axials do tend to rub IF, you use the 14-17mmmm plasitic hex adapter, and not 17mm hex hubs, the 2mm the hex hubs move out the wheel is just enough so they dont rub on my emaxx or muggy... Great wheels

Proline used to make those wabash wheels in like a 3/4" offset but I dont see them anymore

make mike whip up some more of these, LINK looks like a sick offset !

I have a set of those rims with Proline Mashers installed. The wheels look great for sure, but without the beadlocks the tires will not stay on for long if you put any real power to them. So these wheels are my show wheels now for keeping a vehicle on the shelf.
