if you want to use the JC wheels and remain legal to IFMAR standards and also keep the same width as the standard rims here is what you need to do

Front

- with the standard RB6 axle you need to bevel at 45 deg the plastic spindle so the wheel does not rub. 30 seconds with the dremel and a sanding drum on the outside edge of the spindle.

you need to run the plastic cone shim inside and also another .3mm shim between it and the bearing inside also. on the outside I have a .2mm shim. this keeps you legal and allows the JC wheel to run without interference

Rear

- with JC wheel that rear track is 2mm narrower. use either a TC wheel hex spacer of 1mm each side before you put the wheel on or use UMW523GM wide hub
