so i've donen a bit a of research on this topic.

.7" wide rims with 600 hubs net you around a 10.25" outside of tire with which is a bit wider then my axial shafty.

i'm guessing with 1" that would be a bit narrower. but whats the narrowest out side of tire woudl you go and still keep the side hilling abilities?

i liek the narrow rim look with the .7's and that would allow some knuckle mods for better steering. and i'm thinking some 225 hubs should put me just a c hair under 10" wide.

any thoughts?

andi guess the other question would be diferent widths front and rear.

225 in the rear and 475 in the front woudl net me around the same width as an axial in the front and then narrower then 10 in the rear.

that woudl allow some crazy steering in the front of this thing.

Ive tried all 3 with my DHPro's on my bully's. I ended up running the wide on the front and the medium on the rear. Too narrow in the rear and it will have a tendency to flop over when you are pushing the front up at an angle.

I've been looking at getting the .700 SLW's but I think I'm gonna wait until I get some wheel time on my rig. I think you will add more steering but I'm guessing you would lose some sidehill capability. I guess if you get the light weight axles you would probably gain your sidehill capability back.
I really like the looks of the .700 width, probably pushing close to 6" tire diameter. I wish eritex would make some delrin .700 wheels. Would be a little easier on the wallet.

I'm running .725 in the front and .600 in the rear is working good for me.

x23

Issue running anything narrower in the front even with the lack of sharp turning is tire meeting/rubbing shocks...

What wheels do you have? VP?

Kraqa · 01-14-2010, 08:08 PM

this is my front with stock axial rims and the stearing mod.

when you guys are saying .700 and .600 is that the hubs or the rim width?

Yes SLW I got 1" wheel with a .725 hub on the front. Thats the widest they got. Maybe I should ask them to make us some hubs that are a little wider.

Talked with Tom at Vanquish at he's going to think about making us some .800 hubs. Lets hope they can.
