do i need anything else for the cen rims? I'm about to order and realized i had 6 front wheels in my cart... man ida been salty.
updated cart this should get me front wheels and a set of 4 rear wheels. before i pull the trigger i need confirmation that these are in fact the correct rims, there's a few different options and I'm hella nervous about ordering the wrong parts and my truck sitting unused for even longer than it already is.

and without a lift kit, will a 2.2 fit? I'm going to order a set of injora tires to stretch over the new rims, (the 1.9 didnt fit coirrectly.)

Looks good to me. I've had the thought of trying fronts on the rear and making a spacer to widen the front to the appropriate stance. 🤔🤔
 
man finding 6 tires for the cen is not easy lol, price is killing me, gonna be 100 for 8 of the kind i like the LOOK of, but looks arent as important as grip i suppose? i plan on pulling weight until it breaks, often thru grass, so street tires arent gonna work , I'm leaning towards

HOBBYSOUL 4pcs RC Soft Sticky 2.2 Tires Tyres 127mm/5.0inch Tall

81LhaqPYFKL._AC_SY355_.webp

i tend to make a lot of pricey mistakes ( have 8 wrong size tires already)
I'm ordering the black rims today from CEN so i KNOW they will fit the weird hub on the cen.
ill have to glue a set of tires to the wheels and need the wheels to be UNDER 140. (these hobbysouls are $104 for 2 sets of 4)
@Chubaka you're my goto guru on the cen, do you have a suggestion on a tire you think would work better? i want to haul stuff thru grass and dirt, light offroading
not trying to climb the course with it, but i want to be able to ahul 40 lbs of cars across a field.

Just looking at those tires, there is way too much tread. Loose terrain - they will just spin and dig holes. For coarse rocks, there isn't enough gap in the tread to get a bite. If you're wanting to pull a trailer with a load over loose terrain, like your original plan of hauling dirt, I'd look for something else. If your terrain is asphault, or a sidewalk, ir something slick and dust free, they might work.

Just my opinion.

i value your opinion! this is EXACTLY why i made this post lol, these tires will not work for my applications then, thanks bro!

Glad I’m not the only one 🤣

And my son wants one of these 450s for doing the same thing 😂

View attachment 191077

Need more towing capacity then the 250 🤣
this 450 towed nicely, no joke, i just am so rough on my things i need them to be stronger than necessary to account for my brand of fun lol, you wont be disapointed if you get one i swear,

so new idea on tires then,

71n-D37acTL._AC_SX425_.webp

I'm looking for middle ground type of tire, it will be trying to tow in all terrains
and have to get 6 of em so that pretty much knocks pro line and a few other higher quality tires out, just cause of how many i will need. maybe after i break down and get some high end rims, but for now I'm just trying to get a little more pulling power from my truck than the hardish plasticy feeling stock tires provide.

I looked around and there really isn't a good 2.6 tire that I can find. That tread pattern looks better, but are those 2.2's?
 
finally ordered the stuff and things..
ordered the back sets of wheels for the cen,

  1. CD0605 BLACK KG1 FORGED KD014 TRIDENT–D WHEELS (REAR, 31MM WIDTH) 2 PCS.
CD0605 Black KG1 Forged KD014 TRIDENT–D Wheels (REAR, 31mm width) 2 pcs. - Cen Racing USA
CD0605 Black KG1 Forged KD014 TRIDENT–D Wheels (REAR, 31mm width) 2 pcs.

and i got 2 sets of 2.2 tires for them

613AHkDC-hL._AC_SX425_.webp


hopefully i am able to get everything together and get back to other things,
ineed to reinforce this trailer. i dont have the tools to really build my own, mental tools as well as physical tools,

 
tires fit the new rims... new rims dont fit the truck.. fml i must have gotten the wrong kind. i suck

Shoulda got the SCX6 :p Kiddin' ya man, sometimes it sucks finding the right stuff to accomplish what you want it to do. Understand the frustration, we have all been there at one point or another.
