I've tryed putting street tires on my drift car from another car it didn't work for me

 

[tmaxxman58]

you just need to find out the hub size

 

[jackshepherd39]

the hub size is 26mm

 

[HPI_Newb]

the hub size is 26mm

Are you sure? That seems awful big. Most stock hubs aren't larger than 17 MM, and most drift cars I see are running 12-14 MM hubs.

yer the hpi t drift tyres r 26mm they must fit

I thought you said hub size not tire size. Your hub size is not 26 mm, that's the inside diameter of the tire.

So it looks like you are trying to mount the new tires on your stock wheels, which would work out fine. But remember your original tires are glued on, so be careful when removing them. It usually helps to heat them using something such as a hair dryer.

Usually it's best to either bake or boil the rims to get the old tires off of them. There are several posts on this.

no i was planning to buy hpi rims and put drift tyres on them

 

[hamz9561]

As long as the tires will fit the rims, you should be okay. Don't forget to glue the tires on rims.

assuming the hex sizes are the same

assuming the hex sizes are the same

Right. Which is what we have been trying to figure out for 2 days lol.

Does your manual for the himoto not have any info on the tires? You may have to look up places online that sell the tires and try to find the information there. Likewise if you look at places that sell the HPI tires online then on of them should say in the specs or product description.

yer yay will fit. most 1/10 on road car parts r interchangeable like wheels, tires, bodyshells etc.
