Wow Fredrik, that could be just what I'm looking for too! So the question is, how much does it increase the offset and how much dish is there in a Power Puller wheel? Lawrence, if this works I'll have four wheels off you if you have any left. Psi (25 years ago, 5-Jun-01, to lugnet.technic)

I haven't pulled my 8880 apart yet, but was thinking of building a 4x4 using the 8880 running gear together with the large power puller wheels. Then I realised that the wheel hubs on the 8880 have a 'special' connection to the axles. Is there an (...) (25 years ago, 5-Jun-01, to lugnet.technic)
