Default Other options for HPI BLAST Rims

Aside from the Phaltlines are there any other tires that will mount on the HPI Blast/Tremor rims?

Any 40 series tire should mount up

Made that mistake already, not even close, these are 115mm diameter rims.
40 series (3.8") IIRC are only 92 or 95mm.

You can stretch the tires 10-12mm. A buddy of mine has trencher x tires on blast wheels

yeah, but only the big tires. badlands and the other pin styles dont have enough sidewall rubber to stretch that far.

the newer proline "traxxas" bead tires will not work though?

Im envisioning a result like stretching a badlands on a rulux half up, along those lines.

Just dont want to buy the wrong rubber again. What tire bead/size would be recommended?
