same like i need em to be dam near 70mm internal width
I will add in some numbersâŚ

Over 500 combinations to choose from.
5 different rims, 3 different spokes, endless colour combinations.
8" centre set
8" off set
8" deep dish
9" offset
9" deep dish
53.5 mm inside width for the 8" version.
63 for the 9".
The 9 " version can also take 8" tires.
I donât think this could have been any more confusing
Are the deep dish 3.75"x2.5" (exactly the same width as phatlads?) megastar 8" always off-set?
Do they only take the skinny bbstars and not the fat ones?
The 8" deep dish is always off set and they can take the skinny BB Star spokes. The only hub taking the big BB Star spoke is the 9" off set.
The new 9" deep dish takes the skinny BB Star spoke, since the spoke needs to drop in further.
If anyone in the EU wants one I could possibly make some too. I have some Prusament CF-PC
Saves astronomical shipping prices from the US.
(Not trying to take any potential buyers from Jack, just want to help those who are in the EU that might be interested ) Iâll give Jack some monies for making the file adequate
Donât give me any money, Iâm selling these at cost. I didnât make the spacer design so I canât profit off them imo
Youâd be doing me a favor by making them in Europe so I donât have to fill out the international shipping form over and over
Not widening but some may be interested, spacer rings to use 9â tires on Rockstar 2s, havenât road tested yet, a few more to print

Ahum. I gave him that file. Which Pedro gave me
So Pedro wins
Thanks for the solid works files @mishrasubhransu super helpful
Used those to make some that are 7.8mm wide which allows the hubs to accept an easily accessible 30mm wide bearing spacer. My axle width wouldnât really allow for more than a 10mm spacer, so I figured Iâd make it a useful width.
Bearing inside to outside width, -8mm for bearing thickness, so 30mm spacer.
This thread is too long and I canât seem to find if this exists, but is there like a general rule of thumb on how much can you widen a tire?
Can you widen tires that are tubeless? By how much?
This question comes from me buying a citycoco for 90⏠in Wallapop (used stuff marketplace) thinking the hub motor/tire combo would be perfect for building a onewheel. Turns out I bought the one with the 18 inch wheel variant, which is massive lmao.
11" 13" are very difficult to find wider that 6â5-7â10 inch and my hub itâs 9â5
Do you guys think I can widen the wheel that much? Or do I just clean the bike, repair small imperfections and sell it for like 250⏠(no battery)
It really depends on the tire. Probably need to post pictures, but it would only be a guess for us, canât guarantee anything.
Hi, I know this is an old thread but I would love wider MBS wheelsâŚin the above design could you not design the spacer to hold a bearing and not run the outside bearing? Like a trampa style offset?
Thatâs an interesting proposition. Although i wouldnât place a great deal of faith in a 3dp bearing seat. Perhaps if some kind of metal seat were introduced as well
Iâm testing 3dp bearings seats (and a lot more) at the moment. Will make a thread about it soon.
I like your technique for accommodating the 4in bead tires, but have another question: Youâre one of the few folks I see rocking enormous 10in tires. Iâm used to LOTS of mechanical reduction, am worried that 4:1 reduction (analogous to 18t/72t) is not enough reduction even with 140kv motors at 16s to have decent torque with such large tires. I see you have 72t wheel pullies, what look to be 6374s⌠What ratio do you run, are you satisfied with the torque for skating trails?
Decide what the top speed you want will be and gear accordingly
Sorry for the late replayâŚnow my motors are APS 6384 130kv with a 6:1 chain gear ratio.
My opinioni Is that big tyres give great confort in off road but are heavy , require a good torque and a battery with high discharge.
