a set of beadlocks would probably be your best bet.
alot of people like the Maximizer beadlocks. |

I have been having problems looking for the ultimate rim.
I like the idea of running half offset rims, but i stumbled across these thanks to another savage racer and they have 1" offset!
They look the dogs bolloks too!!!
So if you were wanting to widen and improve the handling of the savage without any Axles extenders or expensive extended a arms, then this is your solution.
Plus if you manage to buckle a wheel. Just send it back and they will replace it for free!!!

Yeah they sell two variants of offset but the actual rim size is identical. If you want a wider stance, get the half offsets (very recommendable). |

| If I get the half off sets what are the pros? better handling ? will there have to be any mods done to the car around the arm area so that the tire can turn effectively, since we will have a wider stance? |

Yes, it'll be less prone to roll and therefore will handle better. No mods needed. |
