Default Play with your wheels

I sat down today and was thiking about wheel options for my XTM Super build. The stock wheels are nice, and it would be nice to get a diffrent offset with them. Turns out they are realy easy to swap the center piece around and mount in a diffrent config. You can get them to be about 3" total narrower, but it would require making some custom steering arms, which wouldnt be too big of a hassle. Set up like this they are about 1.5" narrower, and i think i will set it up like this and see how it works. This config. fits the stock steering arms on the nuckles, they are close to the tires but not too bad, i plan to run narrower tires anyways. Should be a little easier on the servo's too, they sit really wide stock.



Yes, my shocks are long, i am working on building a pretty wild chassis.

You can also use aluminum spacers to get the exact offset, I was able to offset my rims just right by using 6mm spacers, you just need enough spacers and longer bolts to do all 4 rims
