You have to run extended hubs if you are going to mount a standard offset rim. Kyosho makes an inexpensive set, roughly 11 mm, allowing you to mount xero offset rims. The XT8 is already quite wide so I didn't find that they gave me that much of an advantage on the performance, and if you run on a tight track they could be encumber the handling of the truck. I believe alot of the guys use the King Headz offset hubs. Do you not like the 1/2 offset hubs that come on the Xray?
