[badtodabone]

yes it will push more tread out out on the sidewall

[jmirsberger]

yes you should do it, it helps with sde bite making you clod a beter crawler and improving on handeling

is that the only up side to narrowing rims is having a side wall???? and flexxing???

[rockdawg]

Hope these tips help:
1 Narrowing the inner rim pushes the tires slightly outward making track width wider for more stability
2 Narrowing the outer rim pushes the tires slightly inward making track width narrower to help get in tight places
3 Narrowing both sucks the sidewalls in to put more tread on the edge of the tires for more sidebite. it also helps to give more sidewall support to tires with very soft sidewalls when you remove the foams.

i also nticed after doing this that my truck has about 1/4 inch more clearence under the diff

of course i messed up and cut the lip of the rim so now i gotta like rig something up lol i think it should be cool but yeh definetly becareful with a bandsaw it cuts fast lol

Hacksaw works the best, nice and slow so you wont screw up your rims!

Take a file to it afterwards to clean em up, turns out great! (Just lay the rim down on its side and take a big file to it and make it flat)
