ok so i go moabs and had already cut the 40 series rims i had to narrow them. ordered the adapters seperately since i forgot about them. i ASSUMED they would fit 14mm hex instead of the drive pin bull**** they actually are. which is lovely cause now i ahve to order a new set of rims since the adapters dont work for a 14mm hex and my other rims are alreay narrowed....kill me.:x

INSTEAD OF BUYING NEW RIMS,WHY DON'T YOU TRY SEARCHING FOR THE PROPER ADAPTERS.I'LL EVEN MAKE IT EASY FOR YOU.TRY THIS.

If You Buy The Adapters From Bender They Fit Directly On The 12mm Hexes.you Could Then Sell The 14mm Adapters.it's Really Up To You.

to begin with, the bender adapters are more expensive then if i were to buy new rims and sell my old ones. plus they dont widen the tires as far.

i am curious tho as to why these say they will fit on maxx hex yet say they are 12mm? http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDCW3&P=M

THAT IS OBVIOUSLY A MISPRINT.EVER NEEDED A 1/2" WRENCH?13MM WORKS.THOSE WILL FIT THE MAXX.IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU WANT ANY RIM THAT WILL FIT A MAXX.WHY DIDN'T YOU RESEARCH THIS BEFORE BUYING THE BEADLOCKS AND MODIFYING THEM?IF YOU WANT THE BEADLOCKS,THEN MY SUGGESTION IS YOUR ONLY OPTION THAT I KNOW OF.

MY SCREWUP.I WAS THINKING YOU SAID THE BEADLOCKS.

yeah i said commandos i meant the cheyennes. the reason i bought them was because i was under the impression the adapters worked which obviously they didnt.
