Default Knightrunner 1.9 wheel + tire swaps?

Looking at a class 1 ish wheel and tire combo for my Knightrunner without having to destroy the body for clearance...

Let's see some pictures of your rigs for ideas!

GK chassis but here's my wheel setup. Injora TE37 reps on 4.19 Proline BFG KM3 G8 compound with stock foams. Stock sized hubs that came with the wheels and stock hexes. Rubs in the back if I have the swaybar off. The front rubs at the usual back of the fenders but nothing drastic. I don't comp either though so my main experience is under scale crawling.

Where are those TRD and Tacoma stickers from? They look manufactured!

I ended up putting some 1.9” wheels into the 1.55 General tires that came on the Knightrunner. I put 350 hubs on them, but I’d recommend one of two things: Either trim the fenders a smidge or go with the 225 hubs. At full lock there is some snagging on the back of the front fenders. It’s not much, but it’s there. It looks pretty good overall. I used black headlock rings and colored the hardware black as well, so it makes the wheel look a bit smaller. I used Vanquish Method 310s in bronze in this case. There are some small 1.9 tires in almost the same size as tires that came on the Knightrunner, such as the JConcepts Bounty Hunters. They look nice and scale, too.

I don't have a pic of it painted yet, but here's what I'm running.

Class 1 Pro-Line BFG on 1.9 wheels. Shocks are limited so they do not rub the body. Still more than enough flex!

This is with class 1 hyrax and rc4wd 100mm bilstien shocks. The bilstiens have restricted travel when you change the springs so gave me a bit more down travel without any increased up. Class 1 fit just barely without rubing.
