Re: on road conversion
i highly doubt your gonna find a body that those back tires are gonna tuck up under. it has to be like 11" wide...... atleast. plus, you'll never get the front end that wide. years ago, twinn-k (and probably others) made narrow rear pancar rims. if you could find a pair of them, mount them backwards. then the lip of the rim won't hit the hub carrier, and the track width should be quite narrower.
either that, or get some custom works rims with mounted foam tires and true them down to pancar diameter. that should work pretty good, too. maybe.

Re: on road conversion
I used to run pan car rears on my JRX2....I measured the depth to the rear carriers, and took an xacto to the rims while spinning on the car (okay...kill me, but I was a kid, I didnt know better).
After they were so crudely cut, I flipped them around and they tucked under my nascar body just fine!!

Re: on road conversion
You actually have a few options. Losi made direct bolt on wheels for the jrx2 that was designed for foam tires. They look like the logo wheels without the ribs.
Another option would be to take any rear losi tire, cut the ribs and mount foams. HPI did this and so did several other companies.

Re: on road conversion
If you are interested, I know of a couple guys who mount foams on offroad rims. For "stadium" racing, carpet track with jumps.
