This is good news.

We would've liked to make our Omni wheels and Traction wheels the same exact diameter. The Omni-wheels are right at 6" and 8" while the Traction wheels are about 1/4" larger than their nominal diameter. The Traction wheels are purchased wheels that have been altered to receive a tread and driving hub. We cut a wide groove for the tread, but did not want to cut into the diameter of the wheel any more than we did, to save the strength of the wheel.
