Yeah... I don't think those match each other. Those tires are larger outer diameter, but standard rim diameter (which is around 3" I believe).

The 38 series rims are 3.8 inch...

I think you have to have specific rims for those tires since their bead is wider than standard.

This is what IMEX has listed on their site (says for Jumbo Maxx tires):

thanks olds, and now they are closed! aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh oh well, didnt seem right when i got the damn rim in there

Well... at least you haven't glued them yet! Although, since a foam ripped, they may not take them back, or at least that pair.

gotta whatch them kids thats what i have at my lhs! i ebay ALOT.

would hte factory rims accomodate the new jumbos?

I don't think so... they might, but you would have a ton of sidewall overhang, which would make for horrible handling, especially at higher speeds... It also may cause the rubber to rub on the arms/shocks when you turn. Those wheels that are made for these tires are wider from front to back to accommodates the extra tire width. Like 40 series... as far as width is concerned.
