Cool Which wheel? HPI deep or not deep?

i want to make my tlt wide as possible with these wheels.... but are the "deep" ones the widest or the ones that dont say deep?

i thought everyone said get the deep ones but it looks like tower says the "deep" ones make your truck narrower.....
thanks for any help you can give me.

i may be wrong, but i dont think the fronts even have hex's... arent those supposed to be fronts for a 2wd truck?

HPI wheels come with a slew of adapter hexes.

Are the chromes offset more than the blacks? The pic of the black wheels doesn't show much but the chromes do.

From what I gather, the chromies are fronts, the black ones are rears. As a general rule, the fronts (for 2wd trucks) always have more offset than the rears; as far as I can tell anyway...

Crap...I DID post up the fronts. Doh!

The rears are the ones you'd want...HPI2160 in chrome HPI2140 in black, HPI2135 in white

Sorry for the mistake. :neutral:
