Lowered Front Wheels BRM-S022S: Geometric Precision for Your 1/24
The lowered front wheels BRM-S022S from the brand BRM are a specific preparation spare part for the 1/24 scale. Their lowered profile —measuring 23x14— allows for a reduction in the front axle height compared to standard wheels, an adjustment that many tuners use to fine-tune the car's balance, lower the centre of gravity at the front end, and improve track performance.
Function and Performance
The lowered profile of these wheels has a direct effect on the car's geometry: by reducing the effective diameter at the front axle, the nose is brought closer to the track. This influences load distribution between axles and can improve cornering stability, especially on tracks with fast curves or in cars prone to lifting the nose during acceleration.
Their construction adheres to the usual BRM standards for the 1/24 scale, ensuring a correct fit in the car's hubs without the need for additional modifications.
Compatibility
These wheels are designed for BRM 1/24 scale cars. Always check the hub diameter and axle type of your specific model before installation to ensure the fit is correct. The reference BRM-S022S unequivocally identifies this component within the official BRM spare parts catalogue.
Installation and Preparation
Installation does not require special tools. Simply remove the original wheels from the front axle and place the BRM-S022S in their place. When combined with low-profile tyres, the effect on the nose height is accentuated. It is advisable to verify that the clearance between the body and the track remains adequate to avoid compromising the lateral sliding of the guide.

Common Errors
The most common mistake when using lowered wheels is not checking the clearance under the body after installation. A clearance that is too low can cause the guide to rub on elevation changes or the body to touch the track in banked corners. Always check this before running.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for a wheel to be "lowered"?
It means that its diameter is smaller than that of a standard wheel for that scale. When mounted on the front axle, the height of the car's nose decreases, which modifies the geometry and load distribution between axles.
Which BRM cars are these wheels compatible with?
They are designed for the BRM 1/24 scale. To confirm exact compatibility with your model, consult the reference BRM-S022S in the official BRM spare parts catalogue or contact us.
Can I mount these wheels with the tyres I already have?
It depends on the tyre profile. The 23x14 wheels accommodate tyres that are compatible with that rim size. Check the measurements of your tyre before combining them.
Does using lowered wheels affect straight-line performance?
In a straight line, the impact is minimal. The most noticeable effect is felt in corners and in the overall stability of the front end, as it reduces the nose height and slightly modifies weight distribution.
How many wheels does the product include?
The information on units per package is listed in the product sheet. Check the item description or contact us if you need confirmation before placing your order.
