Do you know if these are the same overall size as the standard bigfoot tyres that would come with a MT if you bought one standard?

FG MT tires 210 mm dia x 115 mm width
Carson MT tires 190 mm dia x 105 mm width
Nevertheless the Carson tires have more tread width than the FG ones, which have a broader shoulder.
Weight is about the same, the FG combo is less than 2 ounces heavier. Not much of a difference.

They look very good.

I just need to find someone that ships them out of EU without VAT/MwSt/Tax.

I am in the middle of converting my Firehammer to the SMT Bigfoot/Carson Comanche wheels/tires. The fronts are a straight bolt-on but the rear axle round section on the firehammer is a bit too long. The washer will hit the round shaft shoulder section before the wheel is tight. You either need to add a couple of spacers on the shaft between the bearing and square adapter or get the SMT bigfoot rear axles which are a couple of mm shorter.

Wouldn't a 17mm Wheel Square do the trick?

Jrexa,
If you can find a square that is about 1/16" or 2mm longer it would do the job. I just had acces to a shorter SMT Bigfoot axle so I changed it out.

I looked at that conversion kit as well, but decided to go with: the 23mm
Crazy Nut Racing adaters for $50, (for set)
Pro-Line 40 series Wabash wheels for $36, (for both pair)
Pro-Line 40 series Moab tires for $50. (for both pair)
Total $136 + $10 shipping for a grand total of $146.
It was going to be $186 which includes shipping for the setup from RC online. Also, now I can go to my local hobby shop to replace wheels and tires when needed. NOTE: the Pro-Line Wabash wheels are made for the Traxxas REVO and have allot of negative offset which allows for the width of the adapters so the wheels don't stick way out making it look googy. With this setup the buggies inside wheel width dimension is the exact same as it was with the stock wheel setup. But the outer wheel width dimension is four inches greater.
I will try to attach a photo . (never tried to attach one before)
