Default Bodys and rims

If I have a 190mm body what offset rims can I fit on it wiithout it sticking out to far?
What about for a 200mm body?



Thanks

I use 3mm in the front and 6mm in the rear. It fits really well. As for a 200mm body, I use 6mm in the front and 8mm in the rear.

I ran a 200mm HPI body on my TA05, it needed 10mm offset rims front and back to fill those arches

that looks sick.
My motto is that if you post a pick of your rc you better tell us about it.
So what did you do......

No probs mate, HPI Mazda RX-8, Yokomo rear wing and mufflers, painted Supra front lightbuckets, painted S15 rear lightbuckets, Tamiya and speedway pal decals, Speedway pal 37r's 10mm offset.
Chassis has too much to list, Tamiya TA05, blue alloy everything, carbon 3racing chassis etc, virtually no Tamiya left, 19t motor, Novak XRS, UK D1RC competiton car.
The shell was a bit too rear end heavy and messed with the handling on my car so just sits on the shelf now, shame really!

Well change it up, and start drifting again.

Do you have any pics with the body off?

Personally I prefer the 200 mm bodies with the nice 8.5mm or 10mm offset wheels on my Tamiya. 8.5 mm offset is perfect for the HPI Greddy Z.

We should start a thread and dedicate it just to dialing in the offsets for specific bodies.

Dang you got aluminum all the way down to the arms!! That's sweet.
Looks like you have PVC's on it too. Alot of carbon fiber also.

Not bad
I bet it drifts amazingly good.
