Got my Imex wheels and tires in(pics)
 
I wanted to get the pro-line masher tires that everyone recommended but I liked the look of these better because they are almost identical to the ones on my real truck.

I can't test these out until my motor and esc come in a few days. Anyone have experiences with these tires before?

I really don't like the super wide stance these give...makes it look funny and going to affect my turn radius. Is the stance too wide?

they look nice...

I think they look great! Where did you get them?
I wouldn't be worried about the turning radius though especially if you are just going to be using it as a basher. I personally like the wide stance. Don't you remember the Pontiac commercials from the late 90's, "Wider is Better" :005:

That was the Grand Prix commercial, right?

LQQKS GREAT!

I would've put the antenna someplace else though

The lights are a nice touch. Let us know how long they last. I'd use em but Im afraid I would bust them during the first hard roll.

The width looks fine and should help keep it stable.

Turns out I did not like them at all...it doesn't grab onto the road too well. Whenever I was hard on the throttle the truck would spin out.
