Are they bearing fitment? Could you use them as 2WD fronts on something?

Those are 1/12th scale (=2WD pan car) foam racing tires, and yes they use bearings. I doubt you will find any use for them outside their intended use, sorry.

Thanks. So there are no such thing as an adaptor to fit them to drive pins axles I suppose? 

At least none I'm aware of.

Couldn't you make one from a plastic plain bearing (bushing) of the same size as the existing bearing recess? You'd just have to cut a slot in it for the pin, then glue it into the wheel so that it doesn't just spin.

did thought about that but am unsure if any glue will hold up to the force generated

Well - if you put another bushing on the outside, the wheel nut would clamp the pair of bushings together against the pin onto the wheel, making it less likely to slip.

I think that cutting a grove into a plastic bushing, then gluing in could work has Rich said.

Although it's glue, it's a relatively large contact area, and roughing up both edges with 100 grit would give good cohesion.

You could always make a longer pin axle pin and also cut a grove into the edge of the wheel itself. That way you've mechanically linked the pin to the wheel, and can take the stress off the glue (or wouldn't need to glue at all).

Kyosho in some of their off-road re-releases use a serrated round hub instead of the 12mm hex.  these specifically are probably the wrong size, but serrated hub/nuts might work, depending on the power...
