Default looking for a 3.2" wheel with a 12mm hex and wide offset

I recently built a "mini super". it's basically a miniclod 2.2 rig with a 16" wheelbase and rear steer. It sneaks through alot of gates that give the bigger supers problems. I got 6th in my first comp with it.

well, it's a little too skinny and a little too low. Right now i just run rovers on it but I want to find some 3.2" wheels with a 12mm hex and a wide offset. Rovers are so cheap I'll just cut up some sets of them to use on these.

So anyone know of a wheel like this or should i buy an adapter to go to a 14mm hex?

i dont actually know of a wheel like that, but adaptors are cheap and probibly the easiest way to do it. IMO i would run a 40series wheel and some decent tires...you already have an advantage might as well go all out. All the groundclearence, and a narrow trackwidth.

Thanks for the reply

I have decided to go with some adapters and 3.2" wheels with a 17mm hex. The adapters will let me be a little wider (gain some sidehill stability) and the size difference in wheels should gain me 1/2" of clearance without being too wide.

I don't want to go with 40's because remember these are just axial shafts. Plus, this thing is so light the 40's tires might not hook up well.
