Measuring the difference in offset it is 5.3mm at the mounting face (the part that would sit against the hex).

Now something that is interesting is that the new front wheel is almost identical (they have less than 0.1mm difference in offset!!) to the "Losi style" front all the other cars use! I am going to machine up a set of drive hexes to the standard size for the Losi wheels as it will give me an extra option should I get stuck for wheels trackside.
