If your talking about my ZZ-awd project and the tire/wheel then all I can say is it gets complicated.

My plan is to basically make a tube(spindle) that a 6mm x 10mm x 2.5mm (Xmod-evo) bearing will fit over(pressed on).
Next I'll have to (lathe) turn a custom/combo rim that gets pressed onto the bearing and has a 3mm shaft that will come thru the tube(spindle) center and I'll turn it into a cup for the drive axle.
The custom combo rim will have to be shaped like a ZZse rim is to hold the tires on just like a stock ZZse rim would.

The tube(spindle) will need to have two tabs coming out for it to pivot on for steering.Not exactly sure how I want the tie rod to connect to it yet.

I plan on using a very VERY simple dogbone setup like what was used on the old OLD VW's with the swing axles, it was just flat at the ends of the drive shafts so I hope to make mine like that.And yes the tiny axles will be about 11mm long or so.

I want to get the basic chassis done and assembled out to where I need the spindles made.
