Default Need some suggestions

I bought 2.2 tires for my son's 2wd Slash, and he oppened the bags. The problem is I need 2.2/3.0 tires. Now I need to find some generic 2.2 rims that will fit. Does anyone have a suggestion? Most everything that i find is either a beadlock, which I don't want, or the 2.2/3.0 offset which won't fit the new tires. Any help is much appreciated. I think this will be the cheapest way to solve my problem because I can't return the tires.

Thanks again for the help.

I would think these for the front:http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXJF50&P=7
and these for the rear:http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXJF49&P=7
Maybe someone with more experience with Traxxas's could chime in... The only thing I see being a problem is you might need to trim the wheel wells on the body some...

I appreciate the help. I didn't think to look for Rustler rims. Thanks. Maybe I'll put up a WTB thread for rims and see what pops up.

There is an offset diff in the front and rear wheel on the Rustler and one or the other will interfere with the shell (wheel sticks out too far) if used on the Slash. The right one to use are the rears. RPM Revolvers (rear) make a good choice for the Slash with 2.2s -
