| Why would you want to make it wider? Its already to wide Wider will just put more stress on the bearing and knuckles. |

| How much bigger are the tires you plan on running? I have Imex All-T's with Junfac beadlocks on one of mine, no clearance issues. Just wondering...are we talking 1/8th scale meats? T.D. |

| Look into 12mm widners. Ebay still has them. Same fit for both TLT am Wk axles. I have a set that will fit your WK. 1/2 inch wider each side. PM me for more info. |

| Any pics on the mod? I wanna use bigger tires on my WK axles too...I was thinking CLOD tires as I want the same chevron pattern as Monster jam trucks....are there any wheels and tires out there that are a tad smaller than Clod tires that would fit the WK axle without too much modding? |

| I was thinking maybe TXT-1 stock tires and wheels would mount on the wheely king. Does it have just a regular 12mm hex or a disc with a couple of screws like clod busters? |

| 12mm hexs but with a step I believe, so the other HPI 2.2" wheels to fit. I believe the kit comes with 17mm hex adapters too, so truggy/Savage wheels will fit. |

| The problem for me is I have no clue how big the other tires are: Clods, Txt-1 and Savage....lol Never had one before...my first truck was the WK. Also to widen the stance I sometimes add washers to the front of the hexes before putting on the wheels... |
