    You need 2.2" rims, they'll fit with no problem.

    They are a direct fit if you use the rear wheels for a nitro Rustler.

    you can make some cutting, but the result can be an unbalanced tire and more ballooning, I've also seen them in pictures but never in real life.

    my rear tires on my ajto are 2.8" rims with 2.2" tires. i just cut the centre out untill they were the right size to fit.
    if you do cut your tires, then don't try to cut it all at once. take a bit of tire off, see if it fits, then take a bit more off untill it fits properly.

    I Put The Foams On The Rim First Then Stretched The Tire Over. Thats Not The Hard Part, The Hard Part Is Getting The Bead Right To Have No Tire Wobble.before You Glue Mount Them On The Car And Turn Them To See How True They Are And Adjust As Needed Then Glue.

    I noticed that with those tires streached like that, that they look like a low profile tire. Also with them streached like that it should help with ballooning. Hope you taped the first. Looks nice

    update!!! just got thru running new road rage tires on 2.8 rims. tires did good on wot with little ballooning or seperation of tire from rim. only problem was still getting traction ( spinning) , temp outside is about 75 today so im hoping when temps go up traction will get better.
