Looking for positive offset scale wheels...

[Sul]

I'm looking for very positive offset 1.9(or even 1.55) wheels, hopefully beadlock. I know this topic has been covered many times in the past but.... I was hoping someone knew of something new out there. I'm looking to narrow the track of scx10 axles as much as possible for a more scale appearance. I have MRC axles as well but they are too narrow. I would rather narrow wider axles than widen narrow axles. For looks yes, plus less steering effort with the pivot centered under the wheel. I know I could go tlt or RC4WD axles but I have these... I appreciate any input

if you are looking for a more narrow track width you will want positive offset wheels.

Yes, you are most certainly correct. Thank you for speaking up. The funny thing is I work with this stuff on a daily basis, 1:1. I see an edit in my future.

0mm HPI shock car wheels are the most backspacing/+ offset out there. but they are plastic nonbeadlock wheels.

or you could go to a comp beadlock wheel
DLUX 2.2 AND 1.9 wheels

Thank you, I appreciate the info and will check those out. I know of the HPI's but was hoping for something a little more.... Stylish. Not that they're bad looking.

Ok, so I figured out how I got the positive/ negative offset thing backwards in my head before I started this thread. I was looking at wheels on SDI's site right before posting this. They have their +1 offset wheels with deepest dish and their -5 wheels with the mounting surface closest to th outer bead. So their +1's pushing the tire out and their -5's pulling the tire in. I don't know maybe they are referring to back spacing as offset... And again if there are any other ideas out there I'm open

They are not beadlocks.... But all touring car wheels are 1.9's.... They all run a very positive offset and a lot of them come in different offsets.... There are tons of t/c wheels out there in all types of flavors.

they have awesome wheels. just hard to get from over the pond

typically touring car (and SDI) wheels are giving in they usually start at 0mm and go +3, +6, +9 etc. the larger the number the wider your track(in mm per side) and the deep dish the wheel.

you would want the -5 for the narrowest track.
dont forget about the clearance issues this may cause. links, shocks etc.

Yes, I know they aren't bead lock but I'm trying to keep my options open. They do have a good look though. I might just be back to the old days of gluing tires.

They do have nice looking wheels, too bad they aren't bead locks. Have you ever used them?

So if I'm understanding what your saying; T/C wheels and in turn SDI wheels don't use standard offset measurents? It appears what they're using is more of a backspacing type measurement..? Thanks for the input.

Thanks, I'll have to check them out some more. You don't happen to know how much they narrow the track width?
