Default Volcano S30 wheel replacement

So I did something stupid - I was bashing around in the like 18" of snow on our lawn and got the Volcano S30 packed full of snow. The truck works GREAT though (so long as the grub screws are installed tight so it maintains AWD!). Anyway, when the truck is all packed in snow I try and thaw it out a little bit with my heatgun from about 10" away being careful not to damage anything. I totally forgot the wheels were plastic though as I was trying to melt the ice/snow from within/around the wheel and I set the car down after heating up the wheel. Needless to say, the wheel was so soft from the heatgun that the weight of the truck deformed the one rear wheel. Now I need a replacement. I swapped the tires/wheels I had extra for my HPI Firestorm 10t but they're different OD. What size tire and wheel do I need to replace? Thanks!
