I recently got a pair of Redcat Ascent Apex trucks. The factory tires are too stiff, likely due to the foams and being glued plastic wheels, I wanted to change to beadlocks so I could try out a variety of tires. I got a set of Injora aluminum wheels which are labled as -4mm offset. After mounting and installing them, I see that the wheel offset made the track width about 2mm wider than factory. Not much of a difference but It seems the truck is a bit too wide anyway and I wanted to go the other direction. I've seen mention of other injora wheels that have adjustable offset but I'm having trouble finding anything. Any ideas?
 
My Apex thread covers flipping a set of Injora wheels around to remove offset in post # 25.

You can see the difference in this photo. Look at the polish lip of the ones still in the package compared to the tire on the table.

With softer foams I found the tires to do O.K. on the terrain I run on.

I have picked up 1.3 Cling Ons from Injora but I haven't taken them out of the package yet.

I got a set of the cling ons as well as a set of swamp claws. I mounted the swamp claws first as I liked the looks of the side bite better than the cling ons but Ill test both once I get the width figured out. Ill try flipping them around and see what that gets me.
