There are two types of cut stagger, the low profile ones like in the pic (which are most common and you have to cut off the excess wheel from the inside to make the wheels narrower. And there's a higher profile cut stagger (less common in yellow compound more common in green compound for wet) which stretches over the full width of the 2.2 front wheel so there's no need to make them narrower.
Ah ok cheers for that. Ive sorted the wheels and tires for the rear, its just the front ones im struggling on now, ill have a look into that do you have a guid to trim the wheel?

Can i ask about you about lipo, esc and motor?

Sorry i am on a massive learning curve with all this at the moment haha
