I put Proline 2.8 Desperado's and Dirt Hawgs on my former Tornado S30
those look sick!
2.8 rims probly work better...my rim is close to the A-arm when I turn the wheel. A 2.8 rim shouldnt do that.
Hey Dads', whats the total diameter of your wheel/tire combo?
I like the look. I went with the dirt hawgs cause I new my tornado would be on pavement mostly and I needed a tire that wouldnt wear quicly. The dirt hawgs work well on pavement, but still have enough deep tread for offroading when I feel like it.
The 2.8 rims worked perfect. Sorry but that project has been sold so I can't measure but I will tell you the 2.8 dirt hawgs were buggy tires so for others reading this that means the sidewall was shorter. So if you took a 2.2 dirt hawg from a monster truck and put it next to the 2.8 buggy tire, the diameter was nearly identical. And also, yes the bigger tires are exactly what the Tornado needed to make it a real backyard basher. The added ground clearance and tire size just made it a much more versatile buggy. Of course for those interested in doing this a gearing change will be mandatory.
