Just curious, why don't you want paddles on it? I'd run some cut Mudslingers as a second choice to paddles. Someone had them on their rig in this section and it looked badass.

I buy them on ebay for 8 bucks a set of two. Used to run them on buggies way back in the 90's.

Put 1 set of wheels for each set of tires, use the alums for fronts if you can stand the look of different wheels on the truck

Dirt Paws are brutal. I run them on my BL Associated T4 and it will climb about anything you point it at.

The paddles have much more traction and are more likely to strip the hex in the plastic wheels. I'd put the paddle tires on the aluminum wheels.
