    yes, but you have to get rears. The front are bearing type wheels and not the hex style like on your pede.

    I dont think they sell those in fronts.
    It also looks like they may be a hard fit,from what I can see in the pic of the yellow rims,these use a wide flat washer on the backside of the axle pin,towards the tranny like on AE's/Losi's.
    It may not be a simple bolt up,but hey buy a set and let everyone know.

    Like the rest of HPI's 2.2" truck wheels, those mount to standard-size 12mm hex hubs.

    They ARE a simple bolt up.
    You can see a variety of HPI wheels (including the yellow version of those) on my Rustler and 'Pede by clicking WWW below.

    However, using them will make your truck wider in the rear than the front unless you do a wide conversion.
    Don't believe everything you think.

    Ya I knew that,I was talking back spacing.We have had some issuies with the backspacing before,but that was obviously not these rims.

    The HPI Split-5 is probably my favorite 2.2" rim for the Pede/Rustler. However, they are only available in one backspacing so you need your front widened to equalize your track width.
