Default Stock wheels/tires - Widetracked and Modded

So i made up another set of pizza cutter tires and took pics as requested this time.

Also wide tracked the stock rims.
Heres to cutting up a bunch of new parts

Cut here.

To get these.

Then flip the inside to the outside and CA back in place.


Onto the tires.




Stock vs. Pizza.

Tires hold together good, ive got probably 45 minutes to an hour on the set thats on my truck now. And they were just old used tires that i experimented with.

After you make the tire taller, you dont have to do anything other then slap the new sidewall on the outside of it.

Ooh, i misunderstand what you were asking.
The inside bead (on the rim) is now backwards, compared to stock.
So now the tire bead stays in the inside of the lip, instead of sitting on the outside like stock.

Better ?

I think I figured out what to im gonna cut the outer bead off too and remove about half the center lip and the flip the putter bead and glue it back then drill all the screw holes through so I can use them as real bead locks and it will narrow the wheel and help give more contact area to the ground

Not doubting that...

Was talking about air hockey. Tires look good. How is your run time affected?
