|  Got some spins for the Lift.....   I have two of these trucks, so I would like a wider wheel for the next one. Some one once made a 30 mm wheel for a touring car and I think it was HPI. Anyone have a set of those lying around? |

The new wheels look good. I think they still make the wider rim. They have these........ http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXKKV7&P=7 |

those wont work with 1.9 tires,only the vintage rubber from HPI will direct fit those rims,FYI. i see no real way to modify them either,as there smaller then a 1.9,the vintage tires have a larger sidewall to compensate for the smaller rim. |

This is the specs for the tires. You don't think the high lift tires are the same? Aren't they 1.9's? 1.9's fit touring car wheels. These wheels are just supposed to be wider. Specs on 31mm tires.... SPECS: Outer Diameter: 2.5in (64mm) Inner Diameter: 1.9in (49mm) Width: 1.2in (31mm) Specs on 31mm rims.... SPECS: Width: 1.22" (31mm) Diameter: 2" (52mm) Specs on 26mm tires... SPECS: Outer Diameter: 2.5in (64mm) Inner Diameter: 1.9in (49mm) Width: 1.02in (26mm) Specs on 26mm rims... SPECS: Width: 1" (26mm) Diameter: 2" (52mm) Last edited by 4u2nv; 11-01-2006 at 08:40 PM. |

i dont understand why you would want a wider wheel? the tire actually will stretch making it shorter by quite a bit.i tried to widen my hi lift rims(26mm to 31mm)my axle clearance sucked!!!!!Tamiya makes 2 piece 31mm 5 spoke wheels, if you cut the inner lip off and shave down the outer webbing(to create a inner gluing surface), it looks really good plus the hex area is completly surrounded by dense plastic, it will NOT spin a hex. the outer lip is super deep too.
