I got my box-o-tires today and tested them on JRX2 and Ultima wheels:
JRX2, are a stretch (1.7 on a 2.0 wheel), fronts are 1.9 on a 2.1 wheel
Ultima, rear are a stretch (same as above, but Kyosho has very tall inner ribs to clear over):
On "stock" JConcepts wheels (made for these tires):

I was wondering if thoes tires would fit... How about the j concepts rims, does it look like they might take dye?

they come in black, white and yellow. if it is the same compound plastic as their current offerings (which I cant see why it wouldnt be), it should take dye just fine.

I like the style of those white wheels. What are the specs? (tire diameter, width...and I imagine the rears mount onto cross-pins...)

Front 1.9 "narrow"
Rear 1.7 "narrow"
They match the stock jellybean AE wheels, main difference is (of course) glue on versus beadlock style

I should try these on my jelly bean wheels just to see if they will work.

JHarris has stated they fit just fine, but you will need to glue them. The beadlock on the stock AE wheels does not hold the rubber well.

I'd like to see these on a set of 3pc wheels if they would even fit
