Here is what I have for Xray wheel measurements. I put a metal scale across the wheel and used a pair of calipers to measure depth to the inside face of the hex. Same reference as Chris. I am also including width of the wheel. I took several measurements and took the average:
Front Backspace - 18.5
Front Width - 24.5
Rear Backspace - 25.5
Rear Width - 38.2
Front Backspace - 18.5
Front Width - 24.5
Rear Backspace - 25.5
Rear Width - 38.2
Possibly even an advantage on a small/medium tight track. Of course suspension geometry change comes into play too.

Instead of measuring the wheels I actually mounted the XRAY wheels on the car with no tires and measured it front and rear and then did the same with the JC wheels (No tires) I run on my AE car....
Xray wheels
Front width: 242 MM
Rear Width: 245 MM
JC Wheels
Front width: 245 MM
Rear width: 241 MM
I ordered the -.75 hex's for front and +1.5's for the rear that should get my car to 243.5 Front and 244 rear. I did not see +2's at all, but maybe I didn't search good enough.

oddball question here, is it possible (assuming you find a hex) to run 14mm rims like durango uses?
As for the dirt versus carpet edition, have the included items been finalized? Reason I ask it seems the carpet edition comes with more value on initial review (graphite versus plastic towers for one) than the dirt edition. Just curious if there is something more going to come with the dirt car to even it up.
Lastly, going to the rcamerica site to see the options avialable to purchase i end up getting a dead page link?

clicking the xray option fails?

Looks like you would want the +3.75mm hexes for the rear in order to achieve 244mm with the JC wheels.

nothing wrong with em
really like the bigger rod end and heavy duty studs
yes i looked at the akramin change
since Xray puts a 2mm shim under the stud
the EA one actually sit right about the same spot
i dont think its going to affect it much
maybe a lil change in bump steer
more of a piece of mind, i can manage to pop off a ballcup on pretty much any ride, but the AE heavy duties
plus i had em , worst is i don't like and change em.
its only money,right

for anyone thats already build one of these and is running it how is the fit on the plastic suspension parts. and how are they holding up.

I haven't had any problems so far. Little to no slop, and everything is really free. Only upgrade I've put on my car is the aluminum rear hubs(haven't put them on yet) and titanium turnbuckles). Car is really dialed, just needs a little stiffer rear end.
