Sorry this is a basic question, im still a newbie!....

I want to try 2wd fronts on my SX3 4wd on astroturf to see what its like. Will SV2 wheels fit?

Cheers :)

Is this what your after they are schumacher cut staggers on 4wd front rims nothing cut on rim but they are a pig to get on the rim. the picture of the cougar has slim stagger and the k1 has normal staggers

Will,
Out of curiosity do you run these with foam inserts?

Just did this for my sons SX2. Used a regular 4WD front wheel with new low profile cut stagger streeeeetched over with no insert. Might try an insert but not yet.

yeah sorry , in ref to my other reply , i had a blonde moment and confused myself :blush:

The rims i have on my 2wd have slim cut staggers , and as its a 4wd front rim ( the car is a xray xb4 , but 2wd ) i cut the rims to fit them , but for my other xb4 i have some front rims normal width and some cut , fitted with 2wd spikes ...
