Does anybody make aftermarket arms, dogbones, or general parts that would widen the wheelbase of a truck?

I'm trying to set up an off-road racing truck.

I'd like to keep the CG low but still retain good suspension travel and ground clearance.

I'll check out those rims, thanks.

You can get off-set rims up to 3.5mm for the Mini-Z AWD, then either modify your axels or rims. But this limits you tire selection, and lowers the truck.

Nice. Planning on selling them when you've got a functional set?
