Check the vendors section. All the wheel guys make something that will work for what your looking for. If we can help let me know. Check our web site out we have some specials going on that might work for you.

Thanks Mayhem Eng.

What kind of rig do you have that you are trying to widen it? The most of us are trying to get our trucks narrower. Especially in the rear.

this is my rig and you can see why. just like the timberwolf i have to use wheel wideners b/c i used the hpi jeep body which is 1/8th scale.i built a rock crawler not a mall crawler so yes i want my tires out side the rig not tucked under like im running 31'' tall tires on stock axles im not trying to be a @#$% just trying to get the point across that yes it is a scaler of a rock rig not a daily driver

just like in real rock crawlin if you want to play with the big boys you go full width axles.

Nice looking tuber man

Another option you might consider would be swapping out the axial axles for wheely kings, they're nice and wide with any wheel not made with berg offset.

I Narrowed some Berg wheels, they are negative offset now. They help skinny up the tire making it a tad taller and even with 50* of steering, tires still don't hit links or shocks on my Bully rig.
I only did the fronts (wanted a flater patch of traction for the rears.) but the rears could be done in no time. They are super stout.

23mm is nearly an inch. I'm betting it'll end up narrower than it is now.

There used to be a post between #14 & #15 with a diagram showing the different offsets available with the wheels your getting. At best they offer 23mm more offset over stock.

Maybe we can help. I have been making some one-off's custom wheels for a few guys. If you have a picture of he wheel your looking for and the mount type you want it to fit, I can give you a quote on a set.
send email to me if you wish.
