Default 2.2 Clod **Track Width under 10.5in**
Well I got my New wheels in the Works. Gave me a Track width under 10.5in from outside of tire to outside of Tire. Zero Rubbing on anything. I'm even running a Wider tire then what I've been running. Notice that my Axle C's are inside the 2.2 Wheel.....

Is that because of the knuckles and tubes you sell? I like this setup alot, I've been waiting to see what it looked like.

Ya it couldn't been down without that Tube and Knuckle set up. All the other tubes and knuckle combo's wouldn't clear the 2.2 Wheels.

Glad to hear it, I've been wantin someone to make this setup for a long time. I've got a few 2.2 Clod builds coming up and this setup is just the ticket.

I just made a post on this exact subject. I run a clod with aluminum axle tubes, RC4WD aluminum knuckles, and CVD'S. I can't get the track width under 12.5". What all did you do to accomplish what you did? I really appriciate anything you can share.

I've already done that with a set of Ericksons, but not as narrow.

Took a 100% offset wheel, reversed it and used a disc lock ring which doubles as the mount stop against the hex. Well already done something similar anyway.

Oh like this....

The whole point of this thread was the fact that It's under the 10.5in Track Width. Which I don't think any have done. Or they have never posted anyway. It's more then just inner rings and an off set wheel. You have to have the right axle tubes and knuckles to get that track width.

Yeah, I realized after finding my thread that I wasn't 10.5"
Yours goes a little farther, but with my TXT axles I'm happy.
How does it perform being so narrow?

ok, so your knuckles and axles tubes will accomplish this width? i will also need a wheel with the offset all the way to the outside like in your picture?

That is correct. If TCS ever releases their billet beadlock wheels they would work great. Until then I think narrowing the outer bead on a set of electric Stampede rear wheels is the best bet.
