Looks like with 725s on the front the width will be around 11.25" and with 850s on the rear the width would be about 10.5"

Using the VP knuckles the tie rod mount arms are only about a mm away from the inside of the wheel, it's a 1", so don't think you could go any smaller than 725s.

I run 725s in the rear and 475s up front it's 10.5 up front and 10.25 in the rear out side of tire not true trac width from out side of wheel to out side of wheel.

it works really well like that I still get all my steering and it is still stable.

What width are you running your wheels up front? And are you using stock or VP steering knuckles?

I have .7 delux wheels and yes the vp steering knuckles

Ah ok that's probably how you got clearance with the smaller hubs, I did my mockup with 1" wheels, i do have a pair of .7" as well. Not sure which i'll like better yet.

I like the .7 but I all so run a narrowed tire, but with the delux wheels the options are endless. Good luck

I am thinking a .900 wheel could be perfect on the xr for this reason. That is, if you're willing to go narrower than 1"

Thought I would share a way to add weight to the new 1.9 wheels. It was a simple stop at the hardware store and about 15.00


I picked up some collars from hi strength nut and bolt. They are 3/4". I needed to open up the Id a bit so out came the uni bit.It steps cuts obviosly but that was a plus since these are slipping over the SLW hubs and they are tapered.

Installed over SLW,just a press fit and then use the supplied set screw to lock them down.The set screw will fit right inbetween the ribs on the SLW hubs.


Installed on wheels


I also picked up some 7/8 split collars to use.They are bit big in the od and need to be turned down when I get the chance.These will weigh a bit more and give me another tunning option.The Id is perfect and no step drill will be needed.




I also picked up some really thick washers to use in the rear wheels. I didnt snap any pics but the step drill came out again and a press fit was in order.

Ordered late Thursday and they got here Saturday. Awesome turnaround Erik!

Thanks to Erik these wheels have endless options to choose from. We have a guy in the group that likes to run .7 wheels with narrowed tires to get the track width as narrow as possible. We also have a guy in the group that has problems with getting stuck in holes. So what he did was this. He took a couple sets of sedonas cut them up and made a set of 2.5 inch wide tires. With how wide the tire was a 1 inch wheel jusst wasnt enough. So i called Erik and asked for a 1.5 inch spacer to make his wheel wider to fit these tires. Here are a few pics to show this. The third pic is the wide wheel and tire next to a stock sedona on a 1inch wheel and the 4th pic is the wide wheel and tire next to a narrowed set of sedona/boss claw on .7 wheels. Thanks again erik for the superb products.

That's great info Geo and another great thing about the wheels is because of the way the hub bolts to the wheel face you can run a wider tire and not make your track with wider the extra wide sadonas did not make the track width any wider just pushed the wheel closer to the shock.

That's my dads rig and he seems to be liking it so far. Thanks for the great parts and awesome customer service.

Thanks Eric! With your new wheels and berg goodies cutting a pound out of my rig, and the killer skins from krawler koncepts, this rig should turn a few heads and do me well this season. Your wheels are fantastic, I love the adjustability!
