What the thread found

• The X2 footprint can be reduced by approximately 25 centimeters when switching from wide golf-style wheels to narrower I2-type wheels.
• Wheel swaps between thick and thin profiles can be accomplished in 4 minutes when using a modified quick-change mounting system, compared to the standard longer procedure.
• Narrower wheels on an X2 with modified hardmount fenders result in a width only 4 centimeters wider than an I2 vehicle.
• Switching to narrower wheels on an X2 improves turning response and agility while maintaining acceptable performance on flat indoor surfaces.
• Standard Turf wheels can be dismantled and reversed by removing four large Allen bolts, though this provides minimal width reduction when fenders remain in place.
• Reversing Turf wheels offers limited practical benefit because the fenders still extend beyond the wheel profile.
• Modified hardmount fenders prevent the use of spacers that would normally be required when fitting I2 wheels to an X2 with standard fenders.

Depends on

• The quick-change wheel system described requires custom modifications not detailed in the discussion.
• Reversed wheels provide negligible space savings.
• Narrower wheels are not suitable for off-road use.
• Some responses were incomplete or promised follow-up information never shown.
• The exact specifications of the fender modifications were not fully explained.
