I use my dbxl wheels and 5ive wheels interchangeably. Theres no off set difference or rim center thickness difference that I can tell
this is what i thought aswell ?

Yeah theyvare seated all the way back. If I look inside the thread hole I can see the rim thickness is about double then the baja.
Hm. Can't say getting extensions will help your case here
plan B now then....?
he'll need sum longer threaded hubs now then?...my plan B...?
maybe for a diff model yeah...?.long as hub shaft sizes r the same...job done?
I'm sure between us we can work out what'll fit??

I've looked everywhere I cant find longer hubs
Got the part number for those rims? They might be for another 5th scale that has longer hubs

Says they are for losi however I was able to put losi rims on my baja before. http://www.largescalerc.com/163079-white5imianwheelforlosi5ive-tbysilverbackrc.aspx
Part number checks out for 5t. Seems strange that they don't fit. I see it says +3mm offset but that won't cause your issue. You say the hub is seated all the way in the hex so im not sure

I'm gonna try and get these milled out if I can't find longer threaded hubs. Shame cus they are really nice.
I'd mill down your hexes before the rims...get a cheap pair of knock off hexes to cut up

I could opt for 3d printed metal ones.
There you go even better
Easiest solution would be to mill down the hex that fits into the back of the wheel so that it is thinner and gives you enough room to tighten down the wheel hexes
