Beadlock rims will fit any tire designed for gluing. For example a proline shortcourse tire can be glued or used in a beadlock wheel. Just make sure you get the correct size measurement wheels. You cant use a shortcourse tire on an 8th scale wheel (duh). On higher powered applications i would stay away from beadlocks as they can loosen and make your tires fly off. This has never happened to me on my slash 2wd but i would not trust beadlocks on my higher powered 4wd vehicles.
