Well sods law, those wheels may require more effort to make them work.

The internal diameter is just too tight to fit over the knuckles 😭 and slightly more positive offset isn't helping either. You'll notice I couldn't even get the rear wheel nut on at all.

I found this video of a Mojave Grom rally car conversion, at 3:15 he uses Tamiya m chassis wheels and also uses longer axles and knuckles from the granite grom. So I might try those granite parts before looking at M wheels

That’s a bummer more wheels for the collection stack them in the garden with the rest of them 😝. These look like might fit going by dimensions if want try another wheel

Think these would suit a 205 bit like the pepper pot wheels that came on a pug they a little bigger diameter but be a gamble again if would clear hubs

They're a great design, but at 67mm they're the same size as the truck wheels so will probably look quite oversized, they would look great on a 1:10
 
Just found this mini conversion with the original wheels and the Mojave wings grafted on, doesn't look too bad actually, more of a Dakar mini.

If you find anything to fit those oz wheels to this is pretty cool idea would have been perfect for this weeks weather
