Re: will these fit ???
I am looking for the same thing, I have read they fit but a little loose, I have been meaning to try a set and wrap the inner and outer rim bands with a flat rubber band to fill a little void, They will get glued anyway so i figure it would not hurt lol.madmaxx wrote:hey guys , would these tires fit the turbo optima style rim?? im trying to find a tire i can use to run the car so i dont were down the originals... thanks.

Yes, the Tamiya tires will fit the stock Turbo Optima wheel. I use them on my Turbo Optima and Turbo Optima Mid.

Man that DOES look good. I wish I had known about this before I gave up on trying to find tires and ordered a set of HPI Super Star wheels and appropriately sized tires for my O-Mid...

One thing to remember, those are optima mid wheels (one piece) while the turbo optima is a 3 piece wheel. You may have problems fitting the tamiya tire on the optima wheel becasue of the bead.
