Not yet. When I noticed the issue, I did notice one side stuck out further than the other. I will take a picture tonight and mess around with other wheels.

Good point. I did rotate my tires front to back when practicing a couple days ago (when I noticed the rubbing). Pretty sure they are the same wheel though, anyways I'll know better when I have the truck in front of me.

no grinding needed, use the supplied spacers/screws. Mounts and clears fine.

Is your body centered on your mounts? Sounds like a miss-centered body and making the body rub on one tire and not the other. That or deformed body mounts. It will not take much with hexes and +3 offset wheels.

HB beams seem to be the hot tire at the track I go to. Clay surface.

It depends on the track surface. If its pretty loose and gnarly you could try a Proline Caliber or AKA Enduro. The Caliber isn't exactly a great race tire but it does do well in loose, rough conditions. Both of those tires would work pretty well for bashing as well. I actually run super soft Enduros on the front during the summer months at the high bite outdoor clay track. Snipers and Tazers work on a green clay track as do Pressure Points. Once the clay starts to pack and a good groove forms a lot of people gravitate towards a bar tire like a BarCode. However, as ovalracer1m will tell you, the Panther Rattler kicks the snot out of the Barcodes on our local indoor clay track. Compound makes a huge difference too. Talk to the locals about what they are running. Hope this is helpful.

Do I need to run the ballstud foam covers? I usually run on outdoor 1/8 size tracks. Wanted to know if it is worth replacing the damaged ones.

Cheers.

Need? No you dont need to. They are suppose to keep debris out of the cup. They "maybe" help the cups and balls last longer. But otherwise serve no real purpose.
