|  crawler tires for 2.8 or 3.8 rims
Any recommendations for crawler tires for either 2.8 or 3.8 rims. I make my own rims so I can change the width. Currently set up with a 14" wheel base. I'm seeing some tires at 8"-8.5" tall. Didn't know if that was too tall for the wheel base. I was thinking about a 6"-6.5" tall tire. thanks. |

I answered my own question. 2.8 wheels w/Pro-Line Giant Trak, 3.2 wheels w/Imex Rubicon, 3.8 wheels w/Pro-Line Rock Rage. |

I made these wheels some time ago. They're aluminum. the 2.8 & 3.2 are beadlock, the 3.8's are not.

impressive. have you seen how the new wheelss are being made? the outer and inner rings are held apart by standoffs, either glue-ons or beadlocks. Last edited by cabron; 02-17-2014 at 07:06 PM. |

I haven't seen those, do you have a link? The 2.8 beadlocks are 3 pc. modular so I can use different width tires. The 3.2's are 1 pc. w/beadlock. The 3.8's are 2 pc., outer barrel and center hub. I've been running the 3.8s with no glue, or beadlock on the Stik with no issues. |
