I think you'll be out of luck for the 2.6" diameter, my friend... Unfortunately.

Are these just smashing both beads together? Interesting.

They work great on atv/ swamp buggies that are only used for mud racing.

i looked them up, they look cool, but this will be like a trail mud truck so im gonna need a "wheel." guess ill try my luck at 3d printing one and see how it does.

The Prius works great too. That doesn't mean it doesn't look like ass.

A guy in knoxville stretched them over a set of 2.8 headlock. Don't know if the wheels were narrowed or not.

But I'll be dam*ed. EBay shows the tire sidewall size as 5.3x2.2x2.6. Usually the last number is wheel diameter. Goi g to have to check more into this.

Motoworx has a 2.8 beadlock for Traxxas style beads. Not sure if these would work.

Pretty sure this is the Integy wheel you are looking for. It’s 3.0 size bead lock wheel.

There is also a guy on the RC mega truck page that sells different size spacers for the crush locks. So if crush locks aren't you thing. They can be made in different colors for different builds along with different widths and can make different offsets. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1221...1757883778462/
