I’ve been told the FG (using adapters), Harm, PMT, MCD rims fit the FS onroad.
MCD rims with zero offset do work with the FS car body, but with zero offset the MCD’s sit well inside the guards without some sort of spacers.
Because the fs axles are longer than the mcd's, and i wanted to keep the same wheel track to suit the FS 350Z body, to look like this...
i simply doubled up on the wheel bearings... ie slipped another bearing on the axle, then the square block, then the wheel and just enough for a nyloc nut.
Keep in mind 3 things...
~you have to carefully grind off new flats on the axles for the 2 grub screws to seat,
~i bought some thinner nyloc wheel nuts, so the nyloc part has plenty of purchase.
~the tie rod ends need to be turned 180 degrees, otherwise the inside of the rims will hit the tie rod end and bind up… ironically the MCD’s apparently already have these rod ends turned…
