I can't find if they fit the rustler just keep researching. I always buy my wheels from either proline or traxxas them self . They are expensive but they last a long time.

These are too small diameter for buggies, they are for on road cars. The fact that these come with foams are good! I don't have this exact combo, but don't expect them to be great or to go REAL fast, you need high end stuff for high speed control, but they are well worth the price. I have some similar ones and they are soft but mine have no foams. Usually they are not mounted so you can add foams. Recently, I got some cheap tires for my Redcat nitro buggy, thinking they were the same brand cause the wheels looked the same. I was wrong. Wheels were fine but tires were WAY to soft to even be useable, especially for a nitro buggy. I thought they were trash until I found some HARD foams from amainhobbies.com for $2.59 each and bought those and now those cheap tires will work well I think. Still, these are not pro-lines, but they are cheap and good for bashing, but will need foams especially for the off road ones which are really thin and soft.

Just saw the $4 shipping. Thought it was $8 total. Not the best deal but it's a nice looking tread and wheel. But there are cheaper. I think I paid like $7 a pair shipping included.

Much cheaper, tires look like stock on Redcat Nitro, but we don't know till we get em. They might need the foams tho.

Those are tires/wheels for a touring car, not a buggy or stadium truck. Not only would they be much smaller, they also won't work with the stock axles.

No those are too small. Proline makes buggy and truck size street tires, but they are expensive.
