I've been looking through the Tower web site trying to get some wheels and tires for my new RC8Be but I can't figure out how to match up the darn things. How far off in mm's is acceptable between the wheel size and the tire size?

I'm thinking about getting Pro-Line Road Rage Street tires (if you have better choices for street tires I'd appreciate any suggestions) which are:

79.50mm (3-1/8") x 47.75mm (1-7/8") x 107.94mm (4-1/4")


but some of the wheels are:

85mm (3.3") x 41mm (1.6")

Or

86mm (3.38") x 41mm (1.61")
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...7&I=LXTTC2&P=K

How close do you need to be with tires and wheels measurements; is a few mm's off OK?

Also, some wheels are 18mm hex vs the 17mm; is it easy to make this adjustment if I want the 18mm hex wheels?

Thanks in advance for the help.

just compare with what comes with the car and go from there, the wheels are 83mm and 17mm they make a taller wheel to give a stiffer sidewall, for high bite tracks
