just wondering, i'm currently making a project and was looking to use 16mm bore pneumatic wheels. i want to put one at either end of a fixed axle so from what i've read offset wheels look like the best option but was just wondering how you would go about securing the wheels in place so that they don't come off?

Robert,

Yes, offset type is best. As for fixing, there are a number of ways of achieving this. You could simply use a split pin at the end of the axle ideally with a heavy M16 washer between the pin and wheel bearing.
