| Technical performance question.
What is the best way to widen the wheel base/stance just a tad to optimize crawling...with hex nuts, wheel spacers, or deep dish rims? I have a TRX4 Bronco and would like to widen it just a bit, but stay in class 1 rules. Currently the wheels fit about 2/3 of the way under the fender. I'll attach a pic from my phone. |

GPM has some wider wheelhexes for the TRX specific. Or U get the SSD wheelhexes for the TRX and use slw compatible rims. Gesendet von meinem Pixel 2 XL mit Tapatalk |

Depends the amount u want to change as wider u go the hex route will give more stress to the axle. But in your case as i see it doesn't matter. Go what give your rig the look you like. The SLW Route ist more flexible cause you can change the hub for your liking. Gesendet von meinem Pixel 2 XL mit Tapatalk |

If you're only trying to increase track width a couple mm on each side hexes are fine, but increasing any more than 6mm I would change hubs instead. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk |

Is 8mm pushing it? Someone else said that puts a lot more stress on the axles. Not sure why that adds more stress than an offset beadlock set? | |
