Lookin good. Did your track width change at all with the new wheels? Have you ran it yet?

Lemme know how it goes.
So the offset of the Rocksters was totally wrong, and the only wheels I could find with the right offset were the ones for the Axial XR10.....BUUUUUUT, they wouldn't work without narrowing them a quarter inch. So that's what I did. Now the width is were I want it. Any less, and I'd get body rub at full tilt:

Did you need more or less offset than the rockstars?

Ive considered tryin the xr wheels. What's the track at with those? I just setup a PayPal so I can order some rc4wd beadlocks with adjustable offsets from the classifieds section.
Mine sits at 12.5 inches from the outside edges of both tires (it was damn near 14 inches with the Rocksters). Be warned about the wheels though, you have to narrow them by 1/4 inch before they will clear the knuckles. I think you're on the right track with the adjustable off set wheels from RC4WD.

I had the same problem with the axial 8 hole beadlocks I have. With the proline epics I'm using now I'm at 12" from outside to outside. The tires are pretty close to the knuckles.

Looks a lot better this way.I've also laid the shocks down to add some droop to the suspension. I like it a lot better soft and riding low like this:

How do you like the tsl's?
The tires are outstanding, but the beads they use are a pain in the ace. They aren't squared off on the inside, they are triangular in shape, which makes them kind of tricky to seat. You have to go SLOW and keep an eye on them as you pinch them.

That's a well documented issue with those. Do you have them vented? If so do you vent the tire or wheel?
I always vent the wheel in case I want to throw a piece of tape on them so I can run in water. Don't like venting the tires.

I feel the same way but ill be trying venting my treps when I get my new wheels.

I'm getting a used set of 2.2 overdrive comp wheels from the classifieds section. Mine will be black but here's a pic of a silver set.
The wheel face is the front beadlock and comes with wheel weights and 3 different offset hubs.
