Looks like I was wrong when it comes to the front hexes, I always had the parts that I suggested but have always used durango wheels. Thought I'd actually test it out just now and for the front this
mod is necessary after all. Because the front axels meant for the SC don't have enough thread for a wheel nut and the spacing/offset gets all messed up.
Going to purchase
these and give them a shot, I think this might work perfectly without the need of spacers or any cutting involved.
