Im in the beginning stages of a tlt crawler. I have already bought and narrowed some rear pro-line agitator wheels for a jato and they came out awesome(my opinion) the hex is now flush with the back of the inside bead. I am going to be running all-t's also, so as soon is I get my axles sometime this week I will let you know if everything clears.

I just returned my All-T's and getting swamp dawgs instead. The All-T's are huge! My wb is only 10" and they were unproportional to the scale look I'm going for.

They are great for going over large rocks. You definitely to widen your stance. It was hitting my shocks at full articulation.

One thing to think about. To much offset will make it harder to steer and add stress/strian on your steering components. IMHO,it's better to run a wider axle and run a wheel with ALL backspacing if you want a wider rig. In most cases,that'll put the center of the wheel at or close to the pivot point of your steering knuckle. This will greatly reduce your scrub radius and make it easier on your servo and other steering components. On my rig I could tell a difference in steering performance going from a wheel with no backspacing to a wheel with alot of backspacing.

Just my 2 cents
