Wheels Offset: what fit what not?

[rockspider]

As title says, I would like to know how much offset (or how much backspace) the stock wheels have.
I heard that due to the XR-10 knuckles there are some issues with wheels that do not fit, that do interfere with the inner beadlock ring, especially when looking for wheels with minimal offset to keep the width as narrow as possible.
Please post what beadlock wheels you found fit or not
Thanks

The stock wheels have almost no backspacing and are pretty wide. I don't see you having many problems finding about any wheel to fit.

I am running VP SSZ's and have used both 350 and 475 offsets. With 350's I am about the same width as stock. VP 1" SLW's will clear even with the smallest hubs (225's).

I put on Axial rocksters, they stick out farther then the stockers. No rubbing and allow access to the c hub screws!

i went with the axial rocksters also and got more width

Almost no backspacing or a lot of back spacing?

If hey had no backspacing the stock AX10 wheels would give a narrower track width.

I'm still waiting mine to come, but from the many pics I see here the stock wheels are wide and have a fair amount of backspacing, I would say they look like they are close to zero offset or few mm negative.
I know I can use all kind of wide&negative offset wheels, but that's not my will.
I would like to use beadlock BUT also keep the width as narrow as possible.
If the stock wheels have the maximum backspacing allowed by the steering arms (it looks so, but they are no beadlock) then I have to search for a narrower beadlock with the same backspace, that means also the offset will result very positive (wheel inboard).
My question is if going this narrow the inner beadlock ring (thicker than stock wheel) will interfere with the steering arm or not.
VP wheels & hubs are a great product, but expensive, so I would prefer to buy the right one once instead of expensive trial and error...

I am getting ready to try and bolt on a set of rc4wd rockstars with TSL's,I'll post when I get them on..

I misspoke, I meant offset not backspace.

I have SLW's and 225 hubs at home. I can try and snap a pic of them on.

I'm wondering if Berg offset will just bolt up?

Depending on what the manufacturer calls Berg offset they should fit. The only clearance you are checking is the knuckles. I would suggest searching the XR10 forum for a specific wheel if you want to check.

I bolted the wheels I ran on my berg up with no problem at all (SLW and 225 hubs).

[rockspider]

Hey Harley, you mean SLW 1" wide with 225 hubs? How much gap remains between rim and knuckle? Would you say it's possible to go narrower than that or not?
Thanks

I bolted up my rockstars and there is about 3/8" difference between the stock backspace and the rocks. It gives a little more clearance to clear the tires from the chassis ,so full lock and compressed suspension I have about 1/2" of clearance.

I'm in the same boat, wanting new beadlock wheels and not wanting them to be any wider. If you find something that looks good post 'em up.

Which do you prefer the 350 or the 475??
