Default truck tires for buggies???

this might be a stupid question but how do I put truck tires on my OFNA lx comp. I want to run it in grass and don't like how it gets bogged down. I would like to just get tires and rims, but which ones fit??? I've also seen adaptors to put some one, so what is the best way to get my buggy som monster tires.

I think that the Ofna Dominator wheels fits without modifications. But you should be aware that if you put larger wheels on, the strain on the drivetrain will increase unless you lower the gearing.

It's not that difficult to change the gearing - you can put a 12 tooth clutchbell on it.

for truggies you want to be in the 5:1 primary drive ratio...even w/ a 12t CB you'll still be overgeared.....trust me I've learned a lot about truggies from personal experience and experimenting....you can get the Panther Python tires and some OFNA MT rims, drop the CB to 12 and you'll have a good chance at being where you want to be......if your ratio is too high, you'll know cause you'll be melting clutches real fast....
