there are a few members that have ran those before. They will fit on the stock wheels (if u can get the stock tires off). They are slightly heavier but shouldn't break anything

...DirtBonz will fit fine...A little more side-roll than i like but they are a great tire...I think those rims are 'stock' Savage size too so they should be fine...

...There are some tire weight comparisons in the Rim / Tire section...See if you can do the math :D

They'll be fine. The rims are lighter than most of the Sav wheels, due to less plastic, but the tyres are slightly heavier from past experience on the Nitro Sav. The differences equal out tho, so you should be fine. You'll have wicked grip on all but tarmac with those tyres too. On tarmac, they'll just spin up, and kill the tread!!!

...THE best setup for the E-Sav is Proline dishes, either offset or standard, with Proline BowTie MT tires...Light, strong, ZERO maintenance and wont break a thing...PERIOD...END OF STORY...SAYONARA :cool:

40series is too heavy for a fast monster truck [like an ezilla] imo... stay with the standard savage/maxx sized...

3 questions 2 ask

which proline rims should i choose off the rc-tires.com not sure on their sizes which ones are 17mm which ones are 14mm e.t.c

what is the difference between the width of the bowtie mt and standard maxx bow tie + pros + cons of both.

crime fighter has a slightly smaller pin...
the MT tires are not as wide as the standard maxx tires....they are closer to the stock zilla tires if anything. They are some of the lightest tires on the market and in my opinion, nothing compares to them for durability, traction, and weight.

...EZR 17mm are USUALLY labeeled...Sometimes they arent...Just check with us when you find one you want...

...BowTies are a slightly chunkier pin than CrimeFighters...And yes Moose is right..the MT series of wheels are closer to stock size...They are honestly PERFECT for the E-Sav...

...FYI I am looking to get some Proline 17mm rims so them i can use them on the Hellfire AND the E-Sav...I personally think the 17mm are ok on the E-Sav...Whatever the case may be I ttry to keep everything as LIGHT as i can in the wheel department...
