This 5-spoke front rim is intended as an aftermarket tuning component for Kyosho Mini-Z AWD models, designated AWD-18/F1/SI. It is compatible with Mini-Z AWD hubs and MR-03 AWD chassis where a 1.0 front offset is required to refine steering geometry and track width.
Installation follows standard wheel replacement procedure: remove the factory front wheel, mount this rim on the compatible wheel hex or adapter, and secure using the appropriate fastener. After fitting, verify steering sweep and suspension clearance to avoid interference with arms or body mounts.
From a setup standpoint the 1.0 offset changes the longitudinal position of the wheel relative to the hub centre, affecting scrub radius and steering response. Use this rim as part of a measured tuning approach when optimising turn-in, mid-corner balance, and tyre contact patch behaviour for on-road Mini-Z competition.
Routine post-fit checks include confirming fastener torque, checking for tyre balance changes, and ensuring symmetric left-right fitment to prevent steering bias. This product is supplied as an aftermarket rim for focused setup and track use.
