smaller tires for the hpi venture fj

[milesFJ]

i just got a new hpi venture FJ. however, im sure as everyone has seen, the tires rub on the body. are there tires that are slightly smaller that doesnt rub against the body?

i wont cut the body because i am more interested in the scale. I would prefer to keep the size as close to it is now, but not rubbing.

any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks
miles

You can step down a 4.19 size tire and it should clear fine depending on what wheels/offset you go with.

These are 4.19 size MTRs from RC4WD.

The stock tires are 4.19" OD, and the only 1.9 tires I've used that are smaller are the RC4WD Dirt Grabbers. They're 3.85" OD and I really like them.

I also use the RC4WD Goodyear Wrangler MT/Rs and they clear the fenders with no rubbing.

I run proline class 1 hyrax with SSD contender wheels. The front needed the brake rotors to clear and they barely rub in full lock full stuff situations

Stock tires according to HPI are 109m/4.29 tall. So the 4.19's aren't much smaller, but do clear better on the body.

Man I just gone up a little in size, struggling a bit over rough stuff due to tyre size.

Could lift the body or cut the fenders a little bit. Sadly those are the only options with the stock body

i decided to trim the body slightly. i needed to cut just a tiny bit. it really helped a lot. if i do full turn on full shock it would still hit. however, im not running on large rocks or anything like that, so its all good.

i hate the idea of spending 100+ dollars on tires and rims when the stock ones work just fine for what im doing.

i really love the truck, and its much quieter now

Thanks for clearing that up. I don't remember where I read they are 4.19, but whatever. That explains why my 4.19 Wranglers didn't rub, but the stock tires did. I assumed it had to do with tire width or maybe wheel offset.
