I think you will find these wheels are a bit too small, they are for a 1/16 scale car. Look for something that fits a Jato.

So to basically sum things up before I waste $65, the first ones I was looking at on ebay (2.2'') will work?

RE: Tornado s30 new wheels
my buddy just got a tornado epx pro...and my new one is coming monday (YAY)
any kind of pavement driving wears down the stock tires very fast.
Those tires for the 1/16 revo may work. The ad says they are 3.6inches tall. I dont have my buggy yet to messure the tires, but that sounds pretty close.
Even tho the 1/16 revo is a smaller scale, the tires are oversided for the size of the truck.
Anyone wanna messure and post the diameter of the stock tires?
offset is another thing to consider. you want a rim with maximum offset...this will ensure the rim doesnt hit the steering arm/camber link ect. an offset of "0" could give you a rim that will hit. an offset of a higher number is safer.
Any rim made for the rustler/bandit/stampede that is 2.2 and for the REAR will fit just fine as it has a good offset. Same goes for the other EPX Pro models and the caldera's.

RE: Tornado s30 new wheels
I noticed you did want black spoked rims, but if you wanted to save cash, make sure they will fit, and require no modding, try the JCONCEPTS Mono B4.1/B44.1/RB5 12mm wheels. I run these on my Tornado s30 right now and they are fine. Heres the link to the front and rear.
Front:

Rear:

Whats good about these rims are they come with 4 in a pack for pretty cheap. So you can put one set of tires on one set and another on the other set. The tires im using right now are the "Pro-Line Racing 8210-02 Caliber 2.2 M3 Soft Off-Road Buggy Tires".

The HPI rims fit front and back without any modification. A set of 4 cost about $12. They are very durable. I thought this would be a great alternative to the link the OP posted. And yes, the 2.2 speed hawgs or any other 2.2 Tue will fit as long as there truck style wide tires, not skinny buggy tires.

Put the 2.2 HPI wheels and speed hawg tires on my shockwave but the inside of the front tires rub the steering linkage. Did anyone have this issue with the tornado.

Where does it rub? I just went back in this thread and looked at the pic I posted and the one Yolunda posted and you can see the clearance between the rim and knuckle when looking through the rim.

RE: Tornado s30 new wheels
Yes I am running the stock hex. the wheel clears the steering linkage but the linkage rubbs on the inside side wall of the tire. Is there another hex I can use to maybe give me a little more space.
