If I push the wheels out more I'm afraid they will stick outside of the front wheel wells. I'm running the HPI GT350 body. I can post pictures later but my iPad wont let me copy the URL when I put the pic in my album on here.
I ran mine 2 different ways. Early on, I used the tamiya 1mm wheel shims to space the wheels out just enough to clear, I think it needed 2 on each side. Then, when the 416 came out I switched to 416/417 style c hubs and steering knuckles (I had a TA05R so it already had the lightweight suspension arms). Those give you proper clearance and you don't have to use spacers or 6mm wheel hexes. Either way works, but I preferred the c hubs/steering knuckle swap.
