Default WK and a savage?? Can you do me a favor?

I was wondering if anyone out there has a wheely king (prefer stock style chassis, whatever wheelbase and body though).

I would like to get a pic or two of a WK with the savage wheels and tires on it. I was thinking of buying a set of the older 5spoke and GT tires, but I don't know if I'll like the look of the taller wheels. Thanks!

That's what I was afraid of. I love the tire height, but don't like the look of the bigger wheels. I guess I'm just stuck getting a 5.5" tire for my 2.2 wheels... Unless anyone else knows of another option...

Yea, it did look a bit like something out of CarToons when I did that.

this was my completely stock wk with t-maxx tires but u can only get that much flex out of them unless u get a wheel widener kit cuz they hit the shocks but here ya go the other thing is u will need to get 12mm to 14mm adaptors..i got some from junfac but the thread studs (that the wheel nuts go on) arent long enough : /

thanks for the pics. My WK is stretched, and the shocks relocated so I probably wouldn't have a problem with rubbing. But I still don't like the huge wheel look. So, I'm stuck with 5" or 5.5" 2.2 tires. I'll probably go with IMEX All-T's because they are still pretty wide.

Edit - my RTR Wk came with 14mm hexes in the spare parts bag. I think they are all supposed to.
