Is there any vehicle that uses a 2.0 RC10 Rear Type Wheel, but with 12mm Hex Drive?

Offset is too far back for STOCK RC10 axle width, hitting the upright and the shock cup:

Ahh, but Im not wanting them for a RC10. I want them for a Tamiya F-150 Trophy Truck, to Widen the Footprint a little. Which Kyosho had 2.0, Buggy Width, Hex Driven Wheels? How Deep is the Bottom of the Hex from the Edge of the Rim on that one Temple? What Car is it from?

It's a Pro-line wheel for Kyosho... some kind of 2WD. I don't have any Kyosho buggies.

You might look into some of the 2.2 crawler wheels, they're 12mm hex typically, and then you could run readily available 2.2 buggy tires of some sort.

Or not.

Look for optima mid, turbo optima, salute, turbo ultima, ultima pro, maxxum FF... wheels.
They are 2.0, 12mm and have the large offset compared to 2.2 kyosho wheels

Sure, but he said he wanted 'buggy width'. Aren't the slash wheels and tires narrower for scale looks?

the slash wheels are a touch wider than buggy wheels, but narrower than truck wheels.

Hey Joey, could I please trouble you to get the actual measurements on those Wheels (OD, Off-Set, Width, yada, yada)?

How does the hex attach to the f-150? How do the axles look like...dog bone type, universal?

The reason I'm asking is because depending on the length of the axle and how the hex attaches, you may be able to use the HPI hex adapters that are used with their Super Star truck wheels. They should be able to give you about an extra 1/4 inch on each side .

If you can post pictures of the axles and the stock wheel, it would be very helpful. In addition, how much wider do you want your truck to be?
