Need help with my wheels
Hey guys im building up my next car, but I need helo with the wheel. Im looking for wheels that are black or can be dyed black, The problem is all the wheels im looking for are way to skinny for the rear. I need about a 9mm offset for 26mm wheels and 6mm for 31mm wheels....
But what im looking for is some foam pan car style wheels that are nice and fat on the rear.
any idea's???? im only know touring car wheels like 26mm & 31mm
These are 26mm wheels with 0 offset (dont mind the paint bleed... oops
Rear
Front
See how stupidly skinny the rear tyres are
190mm is so small for this body
Where are the wheels

RE: Need help with my wheels
You are probably going to a have a hard time finding a set of foams with those specs that will work. Most i have seen is like 3 degree offset using the usual hex drive. You could look at the Jacos for Mugen and Serpent (if you can find them), Enneti, RJ Speed etc. but they would also need adapters that would increase unsprung weight (might require adjusting springs/shocks). Also, keep in mind the outside diameter of the wheels because if you change that you would need to change the gearing.

Cheerz for the sugestions, might look more into them.
not to fussed about unsprung weight, as I got it second hand and havent set it up yet. will do that once its complete, allso ATM it has no motor so gearing is not a Issue.
I just want something that will look cool. not to fussed if its rubber or foam.
I was even thinking... if I use pan car wheels on the rear what will I use on the front. but then I thought i could cut down some rear rims to suit front tyres
