What rims do I need to run modern 2.2 tires on my optima mid?

It depends
Optima mid uses the same offset in the front as in the rear that means that they used rear offset rims in the front so buy rear rims and if you want narrow front rims just cut off the outer part of the rim. Or you could just buy narrow kyosho front but then youre car will be narrower in the front due to the offset.

the cool thing is that you still can buy the rear hpi super stars and just cut them down to fi narrow front tires I have done that.

remeber to buy rims for the ZX5/rtr not fs/sp due to that they will be even more narrow with those du to even deeper offset.

I purchased these narrow tires by mistake, and am now thinking about trying to just find some wheels for the tires. I am wondering if anyone knows of wheels that would be good for these narrow tires to go on my optima mid?

Well, the yellow ones specifically I don't know, but Kyosho wheels that fit rear Kyosho Optima Mid tires are easy, since all Scale Car wheels fit those tires...

hello, as the title says i am looking for new, modern wheels for a kyosho turbo optima mid se as i just bought one and i want new tires but i heard modern 4wd buggy tires dont fit the stock wheels. anybody know a wheel? thank you.

Last post

Finding modern wheels to fit 12mm hex adapters is easy...the problem is modern wheels usually have 5mm holes for the axles. Old wheels have 4mm holes as the old axles tapered down from 5mm to 4mm. The old Optima hexes were taper-fit.

I think what...

I am an RC10 guy, but always liked the Ultima and Optima series that Kyosho produced. I don't know much about them though. I always wanted a 4wd buggy since the later 80s, but never did end up with one.

Lately, I have been contemplating weather or...

This thread is about two Optima Mid models in the SWB segment. One Turbo Optima Mid and one Turbo Optima Mid SE being built side by side (those two yellow cars in the picture above).

Parts are taken from several mid cars I have in various shape....

The build thread still lives on here

I referred to it many times during my ongoing Turbo Optima Mid SE thread.

Thanks for hosting all of that! It is such a bummer when images go away and I appreciate you archiving posts like this.
