My way to narrow Axial Trail Ready wheels
 

Here is how I narrowed the wheels.
I cut the outer piece, the one with the hub for the traction pin.

That way I split the wheel interior from the outer ring.

I had to increase the outer ring internal diameter in order to have it slip on the wheel interior, then I fixed it with ca glue. The final piece is 9 mm narrower toward the interior.

The internal spacer between the inner and outer ring was cut in 3 pieces throwing away the middle part of about 9mm.
Reassembled using ca glue and JB weld in the bead.
The final result is a 1 inch wide wheel where the inner part has the same offset of the original one but the outer part is 9 mm closer to the axle.

Nice, did you use drum sander on Dremel to increase the outer ring internal diameter in order to have it slip on the wheel interior?

Google translate gives no help here... I used Dremel tools but I mounted them on a drill (it is a cheap vertical drill with its basement, I hope you get the idea).
It was a very tough and long work, it would be better to use a lathe and reduce the outer diameter of the wheel interior, but I don't have it.

Thanks, you did well anyways without google translate, I understand now. "thumbsup" And nice job!

Same backspacing, but the offset is different* :)

Looks good actually
