These short ones may. I'm going to look tonight again at the CRP ones I have, and see if they can just be shortened.

They were sold as new Midnight Pumpkin wheels...and the same seller had pumpkin and lunchbox tires, which I purchased at the same time. They were new on the tree. I don't know or didn't know there was a difference with the Wild Willy 2 wheels - I know nothing about that kit. You can see where the tire rubs very slightly on the end of the steering linkage. It's close, but when tightened down, it will keep the wheel from spinning. I can get better pictures later.

Thanks for your input. I do have a set of the CRP1565's that I tried. They are pretty long. I used an old plastic bushing as a spacer on the inside rim, and with the CRP part, I had at least 10mm between the outer bearing and the end cap "nut" so it would look funny using spacers inside the hub to take up the void. I was contemplating cutting them down a tad, but I'm not sure they are threaded all the way to the end.

I have a set of new chrome Midnight Pumpkin/Lunchbox rims and tires. I have an original Blackfoot. The rear wheels and tires fit fine, however the front tire rubs on the steering linkage since it is a slightly smaller diameter. A 5mm spacer seems to give enough clearance, but then I don't have enough of the shaft left to use the outer bearing and wheel nut. I tried an old Mauri Big Bear to Blackfoot conversion axle, but it's way too long. Moving the steering linkage to the underside of the knuckle mount won't work. CRP has an axle extender nut to mount monster truck tires to various chassis, but in stock form or without more spacers, it is too long also - I tried. Does anyone have any other bolt-on parts that will allow this to work, or do I have to start modifying things? Thanks!
