HPI's wheels on a TC3

I what to put some HPI wheels and tiers on my TC3, I know that I have to offset it or something like that. Can someone tell me what size HPI’s I should get and what I have to do to get them to fit? I'll be useing a 190 body if that helps. Thanxs

See if you can get some TC3 hex spacers. They come in wafer thing and slg thick. These will give you the offset you are looking for and make the car track nice and hard. I have done the same thing. Just make sure that if you lose a little on the lock nut, use threadlock and allow time for it to dry.

I was looking for tires for messing around. I used the HPI tires and Proline rims made for the TC3.
I thought HPI made two styles of rims one that fits cars like the TC3 and another for other hub styles.

HPI rims are offset, for 200mm cars using 190mm bodies. If using 200mm car, you dont have to be worried about the offset.
