dont have pics, but my BFT tires measure just shy of 7" tall ( like 6 7/8")and right about 3.5" wide on my stock Maxx rims...i was gonna narrow mine, but just slapped them on...don't know if i will even narrow my rims at all since the tire buldges out about a 1/2" or so on both sides of the rims

BFT tires to the left and stock TXT's on the right

The BFT tires are a tad taller and a bit more narrow that a stock txt tire. If you're after a pure crawling tire and had to pick between a stock TXT tire and a BFT tire I'd go BFT hands down. Both will need to be modded to get more flex and better performance out of them but the BFT tire will out perform the TXT.




Here you can see a properly modded BFT tire:

Also don't be fooled by the imatation BFT tire, I've read that it doesn't have the same soft compound as the real AE BFT tire.

Dude... should have driven out today as a group will be there around 11:30 to tear it up! I can't make it due to another pre-aranged duty via the wife Although where I'm going I might drag the half pieced back together Juggy to crawl on some rocks... yet by looking at it across the room I don't think so, half of a front axle, no motor, no reduction unit and just not ready to travel yet :(

No, BFT's fit a standard Maxx, Savage, or BFT diameter wheel. Big Joe wheels are larger diameter.
