Made for JConcepts’ Tribute monster truck wheels are the new 25mm offset hex wheel adapters. One of the key features of the wheels involves having replaceable adaptors which can alter the vehicle width. For the high-power crowd, JConcepts now offer the 25mm offset adaptors as a machined aluminium option. With the aluminium adapters, racers can now power up and race worry free with the widest track width available by JConcepts. The precision machined hexes are designed for 12mm hex hubs, they are light-weight and feature black anodising with laser engraved offset markings. The hex adaptors bolt-up just as the production units, utilising the stock hardware in a beefy 6-lug pattern.
