Help with first 1/10 build

There's a WIDE variety of wheels out there on Amazon and eBay - I've even seen an identical 1.9" wheel design sold in 2 different widths by the same manufacturer, and you really had to check the fine print on the site where they mentioned the width. Some times you'll get lucky, sometimes not - but I'm sure you could put those aside for another non-Pro-line tire to be mounted on later.
 
I got new inner rings printed and also printed some spacers to go between the wheel halves, to widen the wheel 10mm and give me 4mm more offset. Tires mounted up easy, and the 2.2’s just clear the cage and shock at full lock/stuff. I may have to re-print the inner rings a couple mm wider, as they were almost too easy to mount, might be able to peel the tire out under hard use. Also ordered some wider hex hubs to make up for the wheel/width offset change. Right now the supplied hex hub is through bolted through my printed spacer with long m3 screws. would prefer the hex hub to mount directly to the wheel. Anyways, was a fun project for a rainy weekend.
Also printed a rear tailight mount and fitted the headlights and taillights. And got some stickers on now-painted body panels.
Not 100% satisfied with the paint job/colours, but not bad for my first time painting lexan, and fist time painting any sort of model in probably 20 years haha
