Who makes a narrow 12mm hex 2wd front wheel to fit cut staggers onto?

I usually just cut wide wheels down when using stagger ribs

Would be nice not to have to cut down :)

DrPaul 03-02-2013 02:58 PM

Cut them down its is then :mad:

A lot of people don't bother to cut the inner rib of. Doesn't look so clean , but is probbably stronger too.

What's the benefit of using hex wheels on the front of a 2wd car over the standard bearing fitment?

Relief of the aggravation of having to stab yourself in the hand
every time you try to punch out your wheelbearings with a screwdriver. :D

Put them on the 2nd rib out on the wheel, or cut the row off with a dremel

Instead of a dremel, I just use an old dulled pair of lexan (bodyshell trimming) scissors. Trims them neat as you please.

:thumbsup:next best thing to cutting em ins tyre truer or lathe.

DrPaul 19-02-2013 07:43 PM

Yeh all sorted now. Score them around three or four times with a stanley knife then they trim off really easy. Thanks everyone for the advice. :thumbsup:
