There is various offsets of hexes for the xb4 so I'm pretty sure you'll find the correct one.

Think you'll need to buy a few different ones and test til you get the correct offset

It all depends on the wheels you're gonna use.

I run 22-4 offset wheels front and rear. I use +.75mm hexs on the front and +1.5mm on the rear. On the front you'll want to use a lower profile wheel nut because there's not a whole lot of thread left.

Yes, the 22-4 low profile nut is perfect for this.

I run these 5mm wide 12mm hex for front: http://www.exotekracing.com/xb4-12mm...nt-2-5mm-wide/

And these 7mm wide 12mm hex for the rear: http://www.exotekracing.com/xb4-12mm...ar-2-7mm-wide/

I run TLR 22-4 rims and have no complaints, no grip roll, understeer, overseer etc. The car is very nimble.

With these hexes does the car have the same width as std ?

From looking at the rear hex this looks to work out same width as std .
