wheel offsets - 190mm chassis with 200mm body

[kalsh]

I have a couple of FF01 and TA02 chassis's and was looking to mount a 200mm HPI beetle body on them. Naturally the original wheels on the chassis will sit well inside the 200mm body. I think both the FF01 and TA02 have +2mm offset rims. Can anyone out there advise what rims I should be looking to use to get a better look i.e. +6mm rims or -2mm rims. (I think it is the earlier but before I look at purchasing rims I need some advice). I am also aware you can use wheel spacers which could pick up say1.0mm to 1.5mm on each side.

Enzo Ferrari wheels have 4mm offset rims. Part No is 50976.

You could also use the long wheel axles and hexes , they give you 4mm extra per side. That combined with the Enzo wheels will make the car a total of 12 mm wider.

I use enzo wheels to turn my TL-01 in a 200mm car:

I have a 200mm HPI Honda S2000 bodyshell on my TB02 project, have used 6mm offset HPI TE37 wheels which fill the arches perfectly.

As stated and some more - to go wider

- Offset wheels

- Longer driveshafts (and a arms etc)

- spacer in the wheelhex itself
