I've done some searching and haven't seen anyone mention using 1.55 tires on 1.9 wheels to achieve a specific tire height.

The reason I ask, and I'm sure it's doable is that I have a new build I'm gonna start and want a tire that is closer to 4.10" -4.15" tall.

Anyone have pics of 1.55 Rock Stompers, Mud Hogs, Invaders or ? on 1.9's for reference?

I'm running 1.5 Mud Hogs on 1.9 GH Hummer style locks.

Never ran them. Switched over to Pro Line TSLs on RC4WD Hummer wheels.

The Hogs are going on my 6x6.

what effect did it have on the tires size: smaller, taller, wider what?

Can we get a side view as well? I have thinking about running a 1.55 tire on a axial 1.9. Looking to lower the overall diamiter of the tire on a 1.9.

It really didn't have any effect on the overall diameter or width w/ the stock foams, just stretched out the inner diameter.

See above.

msd44 · 11-06-2011, 03:01 PM

Yup.. that does help.

I was looking for an alternative idea for my LR3 project.... Needed a tire/wheel combo that is shorter and narrower on a set of axial 1.9's. Think this may be a winner!

Thanks for the help guys, just ordered up a set of Rock Stompers from my buddy R2j!
