i bought some of rc4wd's rims and the 12mm adapter about a year ago and i put it all together and it looks gay has hell with the tire sticking way out .i was sitting around sunday looking at the wheels and adapters thinking what a wast of money.then i came up with this ,first thing i did was use a small modeling file to elongate to hole on the adapter so that it would fit on the stock bruiser axle.once i got that done i cut off the flange that would bolt to the stock hub.the bearing on the stock bruiser hub is a little bit smaller than the hole in the adapter.so to fix that problem i took 2 small strips from a pepsi can and put them inbetween the adapter and the bearing.that is as far as i have gotten right nowcutting down that adapted helped alot but it's still wider than stock.i think if i have some 1 machine the center of the wheel so that the 12mm hex goes all the way through the rim and machine the adapter so the 12mm hex goes all the way to the base of the adapter you could have the same offset as a stock wheel and hub.i hope it all makes sence and im sorry i dont have any pic's.
let me know that u guys think

Sounds interesting, is there anyway you can get some pictures?

Sounds good. We need some pics though. You could have done what I did and used pede rears. They don't stick out at all. Ended up real close to stock.

I got a set of the HPI super wheels and they bring them back in some. Better than the standard 2.2 offset. Here's a link to tower. Another plus about them is that they're narrower than standard 2.2's as well. I keep waiting for someone to make a beadlock with better offset for Bruisers but no luck.

I didn't have a picture of the rear but here's the front. I have spacers on the front just cause I like the track width to be even front and rear.
