Default motoworx wheel, slw hub, wraith width?

Finally going to man up and buy some good wheels for my wraith. I'm set on the motoworx 8 spoke slw but I'm not sure what width to go with on the slw hubs. I want to keep the stock wraith width and maybe even a bit more narrow if I can do it without clearance issues.

I havn't been able to find much more info other than a bunch of pics so far.

I'm guessing it's something like the .225 set but I'd hate to buy them and have it rub on the knuckle or something.

I'm in the same boat, not sure what width of hubs to buy to keep it stock width. Heck I don't even understand the point of the hubs. Why not just machine the hex into the wheel?

I feel the same way so I bought some wheels with hexes machines in but I can aslo see the adjustability of the slw hubs being a pretty cool thing to play with.

I bought these wheels
2.2" Iconic 8L Beadlock Wheel

you can also get them set up for slw hubs
2.2" Iconic SLW COMPATIBLE Beadlock Wheel


this is what I bought . I love these to death and haven't even received them yet. I orderd them in the thick of the Christmas miss drama so itl be sometime after Christmas when I receive them.

Funny, I was on their site checking them out when you posted this. I believe this is the route that I'm going to take.

I want to be able use them on other trucks and I also want to run the VP faux disk brakes so the slw hubs/wheels are a requirement.

Motoworx sells all their wheels in a standard hex mount I belive.

Motoworx definitely offers most of their wheels in a slw compatible style, i own a set.

To the OP, id say a set of .350 hubs will be a safe bet. However I ran .225 hubs on my aluminum TSS beadlocks with no clearance issues

You could also get the 225s and a set of the gear head spacers to get you to 350 of you need to. At $6 or whatever it's a lot cheaper than buying a new set of hubs.
