Default HEPL! Tsunami Ultrawide Tires and Rims

I am new to this hobby and I am trying to figure out how you know what tires and rims will fit the Tsunami Ultrawide? I have read and researched so much that I am confused!
Can someone shed some light on this for me or explain to me how the whole rim and tire measurments work with this vehicle? I am looking for some nice chrome rims and some good off road tires.

most 2.2 rear rims will work and there are alot of tires to choose from for that size rim, also there are 2.8 rims, they are for the mostly the jato, they are a little larger rim and there are a few tires to choose from for it, there are more choices of tires for the 2.2. you need to get rear rims since they have the 12mm hex, most front rims dont.

here is a picture of my tsunami with rustler rears and proline gladiator tires

So as long as I stay with a 2.2 or 2.8 rim and tire they should work?

and they are rears, they should. i know that pede kid on the forums here used stampede front rims (they have a hex in them) and they look pretty good. he posted pictures of his volcano with them on, even though its electric its still pretty much the same
