Wide MT wheels? - 02.20.2011, 07:52 PM

Ok, so I am looking for a 1/2 offset wheel to fit the Losi Aftershock tires. Took a ruler to the existing losi wheel and it is 3.3" diameter and 3" wide.

Looking at the specs on regular MT wheels I am seeing that they are 2" wide. I do not think these tires will work on a 2" wide wheel, and they will lose some of the width that makes them work so well.

What I am trying to do is get some extra width on the 6x6 maxx without going to extended axles or arms, etc. It currently has the std maxx axles, and 14mm hexes. The losi wheels are 14mm hex too. I have had no luck finiding a 14mm hex widener/extender either. That would work if it exists.

I do not mind going to 17mm hex as I have traxxas adapters to do that. But the only 17mm wide wheels I can find are 40 series, and the aftershock tires are not 40 series. I doubt the tires would stretch over the 40 series wheels, and would likely look funky.

1/2 offset looks like it will work well, the current offset is just about 0 on the losi wheels.

What are my options?
