Truggy wheels a& tires on 1/8 buggy?

[SpEEdyBL]

I was thinking about doing this, but on my 8ight, there is little clearance between the the front tires and the front of the mud guards/body/chassis when steering. Tire diameter would have to be less than 5.5" to work. Otherwise, anything with a 17mm hex will fit. Also getting 1/2" offset hubs and 1/2" offset wheels would decrease the risk of the front tires hitting the chassis and increase the total width by 2". At least proline has V3 buggy rims that are 5 mm wider than standard buggy rims. Right now there are only racing tires available for those rims. For bashing on the street, my standard 1/8 planther clay slicks w/ molded foams, have more traction than you can imagine - nearly impossible for the tires to break loose on dry pavement.
