Default School me on Tyres and Wheels

I've been looking and can't find the hex hub size or factory back spacing on the rims.
So Will these Tyres fit on my Creeper?

http://www.liquidrc.com/index.php?ma...ducts_id=61951

What rims do I need for them? Will the fit the factory rim's?

Nope, 12mm hexes are pretty much the standard for crawlers with the exception of micros and supers

12mm hexes are pretty much the standard among all 2.2 wheels.

http://www.motoworxracing.com/22_8spoke.htm

They Measure's 1" wide with out rings. The backspacing measures .200" This will maintain the same offset as all my other 2.2 wheels.

Guestimated weight is 4.5 - 5.0 ounces per one wheel, rings, and screws

To figure track width add 1.6" plus the length of your axle hex face to hex face. This is excluding the rings. Add .200" for the two outside rings.


They will work, and be approx the same width as standard rim's? Or am I better too get more width?

For more width I could get these -

i'm a fan of the flat face (first pic) myself. i've been looking at these wheels myself. great look at a good price. i know several people in this forum (Abavuso for one) have these and love them. i like the idea of the zero offset but an extra $50 seems like a lot. on the other hand i'm seriously considering these (http://www.hobbyetc.com/cgi-bin/item.cgi?part_id=35875), which are $110. but they stick with my black/green color theme!

I order some Double Phatty's about a week and a half ago. Been talking too Mayhem E. about them.

He has both the 1.295" wide comp double phatty and the 1" wide comp double phatty in stock. What is better suited too a creeper? I have white rovers ATM

He has suggested the 1"

Ben IMHO the Creeper works better with a wide wheel, I ran 1" Eritex wheels and the side wall action was bad. The 1" wheels worked great on my heavier Bully but not on the Creeper, I needed more forward bite, contact patch to make the rig work right.
