Rig looks good. What's your width, outside tire to tire with those wheels?

The wheels don't look like they can be flipped.

Outside wheel to outside wheel is 11-5/8

Outside tire to outside tire is 12-3/4

i think you should be able to just unscrew the hub,flip the whole wheel around and put it back on for a narrower width..like my cac ez locs.

love it!

just 6 on the inner,dan builds those rings to hold.

Thanks. What if you flipped the hubs around, what would be the outside to outside measurement then? I love these wheels, but would like to have it about 11.5" wide.

TMXONR · 11-17-2011, 05:19 PM

The hub will fit on the other side of the wheel and you will also move the wheel in about .25" per side. If you do flip the wheels, you end up with solid spokes with no design showing.

Here is a picture with what it would look like with the hubs on the other side of the wheel.

Oh, ok. Thanks for the pic. I'm having a hard time deciding on wheels.

That sounds like a plan.

This can't be good...but yet, it could be pretty entertaining.

I got in my Carter Fab and Machine DIY roof kit in. It kit is made up of 5 rods that are drilled and tapped to 3mm and they are also turned down at the ends so that they fit into the stock cage sides. Today I got started on tying the CFM parts together with some 3/16" rod.

TMXONR · 11-28-2011, 08:31 PM

I got some more work done on the Wraith. I finished up the roof, moved the battery up front, made some inner fenders and painted the reciever box. I also installed some 32 pitch gears since I removed every tooth off of the 48 pitch spur the last time that I went hill climbing.

My reciever box that is painted like a cooler:

The gears:
