|  Question on MSD purchase? After looking on the MSD site for weeks, last Saturday I finally found a set of Top Guns. Of course I purchased them without haste, lol. But, now I am wondering. First off, these are what I bought. And of course after the fact I have some questions. Are these the Axial offset? Do they take the hexes from the Scorpion? I would assume so, but I will not know until I get them. If they are correct, they will be the ones that will rub on the RCP High Clearance Knuckles, right? I also noticed in the MSD page that they had a small run of different offsets that fit these knuckles without modification. How would I know if I got those? Any help would be appreciated as I know there are a lot of you who run these wheels. thanks in advance all! Jon Last edited by O.C.D.; 05-12-2008 at 10:55 AM. |

| Just from reading the description on the website, it says the hex is flush with the backside of the wheel for 100% offset, which tells me they will put you at a wider trackwidth than the axials. |

| Offset will be wider, but I like mine (actually not MSD's) wider now. They will fit a normal 12mm hex, but the Axial has a nub on it's hex. You can either file/cut the Axial hex flush, or drill out the hole in the wheel. Your call. |

| Damnit, damnit, damnit. So how much wider are we talking here? 1/4" each side? I know I should know this but the site is limited in info, and I have never put other wheels on mine. This will be comp legal? |

| Hey Doc, You will be fine with those. I have the same set on my comp rig. You will need to cut the nub off like Binary stated. My track width is at 10 1/4 with these same wheels. I have had no issues. You will love them!!! |
