Question about Blue Grove Rims

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

Alright the look really sweet but how can you just flip them over? I might be way off on this but I just don't see how you can flip the rim over... cause when it comes time to put the hex on how does it fit? I am lost on these rims!!! I want them but I am lost!!

I have a set of these and they have a hub on both sides of the rim. Your hex will go on the side you want towards the truck and they come with adapters so you can attach them on the other side. You will need lock nuts instead of the flanged ones that mount the rims. If you still have questions, I will try to take pics tonight to show you. I am just trying to get a set of tires off some rims so I can try these blue groove rims out. I really like the idea of dual offset, with one set of rims.

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

Ok so you CAN'T use the 17mm conversion for this? correct?

 

[ryugaiden05]

No, the opening is not large enough for that.

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

K that makes sense then but you can flip them around so you have different off set right?

 

[ryugaiden05]

Yes, they can be flipped to have the offset. I think they are 0 & 1/2 in offsets.

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

Well thanks for your help ryugaiden I will be looking into a set of these in the near future.

i have been running a set of the dual offsets now for about six months all is good with them but i have stripped a hex on one rim. blue groove wont warrenty them unless you use the included adaptors that don't fit the savage axle without modification. (drill press needed here) other then that they are tough as nails.

I just ran these for the first time yesterday and these rims are awesome. I am running them with a set of the stock gt tires and the truck was so much more stable and agile.
