Rub trouble :)

[visceral]

I'm running pitbull rock beasts on steelies, w. The vp 8 degree knuckles and chubs. I put in the traxxas spacer and I'm still rubbing. Any ideas other than vp wheels?

Thanks!

Cool Thx. Won't this require the axle ends to be longer? I'm already low on threads for the nut.

The Junfac widener kit is supplied with barrel nuts, lock washers and flat washers, you use them instead of the M4 nylon lock-nut.

So it somehow pushes out the inner part of the tire, without needing more threads on the axles? I'm probably not getting something here. Thx for the help.

The barrel nuts (silver bolts in the picture below) reach deeper into the 12mm widener hub to grab the threads on the axle.

Or you can buy different hubs to widen the track, or run Axial aluminum high steer knuckles because they don't rub the tires like VP does.
