I put some Calandra Racing Concepts 35mm wide rear tires on my TC-3 here is the only picture I have . Tires did help improve handling I had a Sirio .18 in it.

nitrohead 5300
THANKS, exactly what i was looking for, I figured that would improve handling plus it looks a bit meaner.

They should fit without any major mods beyond shimming. Here is their website http://www.teamcrc.com

The shims I think he's talking about are little hex shaped spacer washers that go between the hex and the wheel to space the wheel out a little further.
The CRC wheels I bought came with 2mm thick shims/spacers.
The only issue you might encounter after using them is that the wheel stud is not long enough for the nut to fully thread on and lock?

RS4 also has a problem with anything ore than 30mm wide rear...it can't fit cause it's the radio tray near of it. 30mm is the widest I could fit without touching the tray...

Actually, I bought them to try on my Fusion...but they still rubbed on the toe link ball cup, and the nut would barely thread on.
