Losi 2wd front wheels - what kind of mount do they have?
 
As part of a 4wd skinny wheel experiment, I'd like to know what kind of mount Losi 2wd front wheels use? Is it the same as the 4wd front hex?

No, whilst both use a hex fitment, the offset is different and a 4WD car wouldn't fit in the box if 2WC rims were used.
If you want to run narrow tyes, either stretch them over the whole wheel or use the inner rib as a location marker rather than the outer rib.

|^| |^| or |^| ^| | where | is the rib and ^ is the tyre.

Thanks for the tip - my club doesn't even have a box...wonder if they'd notice...? :D

Is this wide offset peculiar to Losi 2wd wheels, or all of them?
