Default offset question

I picked up some rc4wd hitman wheels and I seen they have a zero offset hub available separately. These will be ran a wraith with vanquish knuckles. My question is will the zero off sets work to narrow it some? If not what other hubs will work? I would like to be as narrow as possible. Thank you for looking.

Default Re: offset question

A zero offset is exactly that "zero gain or loss" the hex is dead center of the rim. So it won't narrow or widen it per say.

Negative offset will increase the track width -- the hex mount is closer to inside of wheel

Positive offset will narrow the track width -- the hex mount is closer to front of wheel

Now depending on the backspacing of the rim the zero offset may narrow it some over the standard hubs they use. Do you have a link to the hub spacers you are talking about?

I know how offset works but I wasnt sure if the wheel would rub the knuckle if I ran them. I dont have a link. My lhs said the have one but wasnt sure if it would work on these.
