As far as I know the only marketed products to widen a clod are wheel/ax;e extenders. If you know someone that can weld aluminum you might be able to mod a set of aluminum axle tubes, but that would leave you axle shafts that are too short...

Hello, Hot Racing makes some long tubes for the clod axles. They would add 15 mm on each side. Here you can have a look on them: http://www.hot-racing.com/?partnumber=CB20EL08&c=38 Greatings from germany Frank |

You can add a 1/4" per side by using the TXT stub axles, drive hubs, and wheels. There are some aluminum wheels made with full offset, with will push the wheels out further as well. |

Cheers, i could try those longer axle tubes and if the axles break maybe look into some tougher ones beeing made up that would help, it does say that only their knuckles work with it though :( 15mm either side is an improovement but still not really enough for my project, m trying to make a large scale crawler.

those hot racing axles are interesting pieces. any one run these, they could eliminate my integy wideners that keep working loose. i've wanted some aluminum tubes anyway.
