Why would you want to make it wider? Its already to wide
Wider will just put more stress on the bearing and knuckles.

i want to go with bigger wheels and tires and i worried about rubbing on the links.

How much bigger are the tires you plan on running? I have Imex All-T's with Junfac beadlocks on one of mine, no clearance issues. Just wondering...are we talking 1/8th scale meats?

T.D.

got pics?

Look into 12mm widners. Ebay still has them. Same fit for both TLT am Wk axles.
I have a set that will fit your WK. 1/2 inch wider each side. PM me for more info.

whats the smallest wheel widners available cause mine the wheel and the shock touch each other

Any pics on the mod? I wanna use bigger tires on my WK axles too...I was thinking CLOD tires as I want the same chevron pattern as Monster jam trucks....are there any wheels and tires out there that are a tad smaller than Clod tires that would fit the WK axle without too much modding?

I ran nylint tires on mine for a while with no rubbing or breakage.

HPI makes wheel extenders: #88055 - ALUMINUM WIDE HEX HUB 12x24mm (PURPLE)

maybe some offset wheels

I was thinking maybe TXT-1 stock tires and wheels would mount on the wheely king. Does it have just a regular 12mm hex or a disc with a couple of screws like clod busters?

 

[krush groove]

12mm hexs but with a step I believe, so the other HPI 2.2" wheels to fit. I believe the kit comes with 17mm hex adapters too, so truggy/Savage wheels will fit.

I bought some from here. 1" wider per side, 2" total. $22, they are very simple in design, but work effectively. Just make sure to use blue locktite on the screws that hold the wheels on."thumbsup"

The problem for me is I have no clue how big the other tires are: Clods, Txt-1 and Savage....lol
Never had one before...my first truck was the WK.
Also to widen the stance I sometimes add washers to the front of the hexes before putting on the wheels...
