Default 30mm axle extenders?

I want to put HPI Savage wheels and tires on a Wraith, but the wheels have so much inward offset that I'll need axle extenders somewhere around 30mm-wide in order to keep the tires from rubbing. The only axle extenders I've seen that are wide enough look like they're pretty cheap, using a simple cross-pin to hold themselves on the axle and an O-ring to keep the cross-pin from falling out. Can anyone suggest a brand that's stronger, perhaps using barrel-bolts to hold the axle extender onto the axle? Unfortunately I don't think I can compromise on the width of the axle extenders at all.

Unfortunately I need a solution that fits the front and rear.

The front and rear Axel's are the same on the wraith.
The kit above is for the rear of the yeti, which has the same axle as the wraith.

The kit above doesn't contain CVD or u-joint axle extenders that work with the front steering knuckles.

Sorry about that I completely forgot about the front steering.

Yeah, that makes it more complicated.

I got some 30mm extenders in the mail today, but I'm not impressed with their quality. I may have to go with shorter extenders and non-premounted tires installed in wheels with more offset, though I was hoping to avoid needing different wheels for this truck.

Someone out there has wheels you can mount backwards to decrease the offset. No idea where I saw them though....
