Losi truggy tires
Im looking to get some new losi 8ight-t tires and wheels.I dont know what rims fit.Do I need 0 offset,1/2 offset or full offset?Any help would be appreciated.

If you're truck is stock you need the 1/2" offset. But if you have hub extenders then you need the 0 offset. Sounds like your truck is pretty new to you and I'll bet it's stock. So get the 1/2" offset.

go for 1/2 offset Proline LPR wheels with maybe LPR holeshots?
|
Thanks guys,Yes my truck is new to me.I just got it today.

The new proline LPR rims/tires are going along with the current trend in truggy racing. They are using a lower profile sidewall tire to enhance cornering. Since there is less sidewall flex the tires allow the chassis to react quicker. Just remember that some people still prefer the Maxx sized tires on Maxx rims to absorb really rutted tracks.
I have only used the MTR tires stretched over the Losi rims. Works great for me. Now that PL and Losi have the same sized rim and tires, it's going to be easy to mix and match if a store doesn't have what you were looking for. The GRP wheels/tires are a low profile also when compared to the Maxx/MTR tires. But I'm not sure how close they are to the PL/Losi rims and tires.Maybe someone will post how close the GRP tires are. |

overhere we're only allowed to run up to 95mm rims so the losi / PL lpr are not legal to run yet:cry: hope this helps AIR8 Adrian:tire: |

The Losi rims are only made for the 8T and therefore only in 1/2" offset. Proline makes the LPR rims with different offsets.

thanks. When you say it was only made for the 8T does that mean there is something wrong If I run the losi rims on a Jammin Crt?
No, no, no. The Losi rims work on the Jammins just fine. And any other vehicle that uses a 1/2" offset. I meant to say that Losi only makes one truggy wheel. It fits on the 8ight-T. Losi does not make any other truggy rims as of now. They only have the one part number (but white or yellow) which is the 1/2" offset. They might make other sizes/offsets in the future. But only time will tell. |
