Axle Length question

[Caribou]

Measured the axle length on my atlas car at .56 and found a set of metal wheels at a .55 axle length.

So my question is can I use these wheels being the length is .1 difference as I don't want to have issues with the truck and runability of this car.

Any help is much appreciated

I don't understand the question, @Vince. Let's just say there's a lot of "static" in your post.

If understand, the axle length of the Atlas wheelset is .560" (actually .563") and replacement metal wheelset is .550" (if it's a Fox Valley wheelset, it's .553"). Then you might have a problem with .010" too much side play.

But it's probably worth trying just to see if it works.

Paul it's new to me also but you did figure it out thanks for deciphering my gibberish.

Sorry bout that math/calculations are one of my bad subjects.
