Default Best way to push the wheels out a bit?

I have Vanquish knuckles and castors on my front end and am looking to push the wheels out farther so the stock wheels don't rub on the knuckles. was looking to replace the plastic wheel hubs with vanquish SLW hubs but not sure what size to get for front and rear to push them out equally. was also looking at some 8 or 10mm extended hexes to put on the axles instead. any advice would be awesome!

I used 22mm GPM pin mounted hubs in the rear https://www.gpmracing-parts.com/axia...-90067850.html and 14mm front https://www.gpmracing-parts.com/axia...-90067849.html

this is a even better option and gives u room to play Lattice Innovations Shifts Flexible Offset Hubs (compatible with Vanquish SLW) (includes 4 sets of hubs)

these options eleminate the hex and mount direct to the axle pin one less point where slope could happen.

if u are hooked to the slw and hex mount, i think it's 475 front 600 rear

Oh man thanks for the reply, I really like that first option. Im using axial stock wheels. Not sure about the lattice innovation ones, they have a set of 4 that are all the same size no?
I'm liking the idea of ditching the hex's
Edit: oops now I see that they come with the spacers, that's awesome. Thanks man!
Now just need to decide which to go with, if I get the GPM ones I want to make sure both front and rear are a step longer than the stock spacers

one more question, I got the gpm hubs, they work great, but my stock wheels are still hitting my rpm A arm button head screw and nut. I'm thinking about getting a set of VP wheels but I'm sensing that the gpm hubs aren't compatible.. would I have to get the vanquish hubs or the lattice ones?

They should Work. I use them on my SSD rockracers, which are slw compatible.
Strange is your a-arm issue, maybe wrong screw. Did U check with the manual?

I had the same issue when i used my Vanquish castor and Knuckles with the stock i added the 5mm HR spacer and it cleared it but i am also looking for the hubs. I think they have to be over 10mm, maybe the 22mm someone suggested.
Will be watching this thread for some different options.
