You might wanna those LPR wheels and tires, as those are low profile, so it has better handling.
If i remember right LPR stands for Low Profile Race.
Here is quick shot of "standard" truggy wheel vs LPR wheel, both have Bowtie tires on them.

so could an LRP style tire go on any rim? vice versa

no it would be to tall. And standard tires cant go on lpr rims
