The wheels sort of fit, but the offsets are wrong and there are some clearance issues, get the right wheels.

Swap out the stock front hex's for some B44 ones. Then you can run the Losi, Associated, or JConcepts wheels. The hex's on the B44 rims are deeper than the Losi ones so you need a thicker hex.

2wd losi front rims have the right hex and offset but you'll need to drill out the center hole slightly to make them fit on the 4wd

Do not do this !!

These rims are made for 2wd and not to be power driven , which will strip out the hex mold in the wheel . There is a reason the hex on front 4wd wheels have extra material as the fronts are powering not just rotating like 2wd .

Use XX4 / XXX-4 wheels .
