| Summit RC4WD and Axial Question
I want to buy some RC4WD Roc Lox tires with a set of Axial Bead Locks. Can someone tell me which Axial Oversize wheels are narrow or atleast what the width dimension is on narrow wheels. I don't want to end up buying wide. Also, where is the best place to buy them? I like the axial AX8014, AX8017 or even AX8042 but don't know if they are narrow. Also, I know the Summit has a 1/2" offset wheel stock. Does this matter on the new wheels I buy or doesn't that matter?

The narrow wheels have been discontinued. The wide wheels will fit on the truck but the inside beadlock ring will rub on the arms. There's a few work arounds. You can remove the inside beadlocks and just glue the tires or you can narrow the wheels yourself, I've also heard of people grinding down the ring with some success. Finally narrowed a set of wheels |

I just bought the Rok Lox for my summit and I put them on the Axial Beadlock rims AX8017. They fit perfectly on them. I have them on the truck but I have not tested them out in the wild yet

Any updated on the testing? Do they rub at all?

I have and I didn't seem to notice any rubbing. I've only used it for crawling and trailing, and they work great. I would definitely recommend them.

You can always go to a 24mm adapter and use 1/5 scale rims. You can then run the Proline Trenchers that are very large also with a more agressive tred patteren. Get the front tires if you want narrow tires. Their 7.55 inches tall. You will get more from theses and way more looks. The tred is deeper also!!!! next to the 3.8 there is a big differance.
