Wheels for an original rc10

I have a rc10 I am trying to put new wheels on, the rears are from the worlds car and the fronts are from the b4. The car has MIP trailing arms in the rear and the front has a crp wide tamiya conversion. My question is how can i get these wheels to fit? I have a few ideas but don't really know.

Okay, I may not provide many answers so I'll just throw out some guesses and we'll see where it goes.
If your rear wheels are from the re-released Worlds car, they are sized to fit 3/16" axles and the axles for your MIP trailing arms might be 1/4". I have one of those MIP kits and I've always ran 1/4" axles in them.
Not sure what the CRP Tamiya wide conversion kit includes but maybe it includes front axles that are sized for metric bearings (maybe 5mm or larger?) - not sure about that one myself but I'm betting others here on the forums are familiar that kit.

The Tamiya conversion lets you use wheels with a 5x11 bearing.

B4 fronts accept 3/8" bearings.

For the front i'm gonna try using a b4 factory team axle and a b4 steering block. Still unsure of the rear but I think that the cvd kit by associated should fit in the MIP trailing arms.

the mip trailing arms probably use the 1/4" x 3/8" flanged bearings. If you wish to use a 3/16" axle, simply swap out 3/16" x 3/8" flanged bearings.
the B4 wheels have a pretty deep offset, but depending on the tire you are using, if you trim off the inner bead, you can run a narrower front tire with essentially zero offset.
the b4 parts won't necessarily take into account the offset. the gt or truck axles that are included in the front wheel kits, ASC6801 push the wheel out to give you an effective zero offset.

The CRP wide front axles are 5mm you can also run 5 x 8mm flanged bearings with either original wheels or later TQ wheels.
Your best bet is to get JC racing wheels and not mess around with the axles.

These look nice and the shipping is not bad. Do these have pin type in the rear and do they accept 5x8mm bearing in the front?

they are a direct fit for 1/4" rear axles and 3/16" front axles on the rc10. the front bearings are 5/16" x 3/16" flanged (I think)

Yes. These wheels fit original gold pans and team cars.
The rear whees are for 1/4" pin and the fronts are for 5/16" bearings.
5/16" is 8mm
(really close and fits perfectly).
You will need four 5 x 8 mm flanged bearings also.
