on pn's site, it does say 2 fronts will work with the 14.5mm wheels

that is crazy! For the pan body, you get lots of downforce and now you can run super sticky tires like narrow kyosho 20's or gpm 8's and run them in the back... all you need to worry about is how you're going to make the turns .

pinoyboy, thanks for the info about using 2 front tires on the new PN 14.5mm rims. I didn't initially see that on the PN site.
I haven't tried them yet, but if the PN 14.5mm-wide rim is essentially the same as a +3 offset 11.5mm-wide rear rim, then these new xtra-wide PN rims might be cool to try with bodies like the Murcielago and the Enzo and a few others; Just the rear wheel fender might need to be trimmed a bit to accomodate the 22mm diameter.
Thank you PN

I have a set. Can't actually mount them since I don't have any tools small enough to fit in the holes lol.

I am now running these wheels on two different McClaren bodies, it sounds crazy but I think the cars both drive smoother with the taller wheels. I noticed my front tires dont wear out as fast.

I also got a set of the 14.5's and threw them on my pan car, it looked sick like that. The only way I could get the understeer to quit was to run 11mm rears in the front. In the end it handled the same to me as it did with regular size wheels, it had just a little more grip/stability.

Mine broke....actually split down the middle of the front face.....
It did break from a hit but the hit wasnt a biggie...

I still like the wheels and bought a replacement set. It was a front wheel 0 offset in white....
