Tips on ways to remove glued tires from rims?
 

Well I won a set of Losi LST tires and rims on Ebay, unfortunatly I never thought about them being glued. Anybody have any tips on ways to remove the tires from the rims so I can narrow them (the rims). As of now I think there is too much backspacing and it will hit my maxx hybrid axles. The axles aren't done yet since my bandsaw is still not here, or I would test fit them. Ideas?

You can boil them in water for about 5 to10 min.But be careful because you can warp the rims. This works pretty good as long as your are not to worried about your chrome. I done about 12 wheels this way i messede the chrome up on one wheel you just got tobe careful : 8)

Alrighty, thanks a ton. I was thinking about getting a set of stocker Tmaxx wheels anyway. I guess i'll take my chances with the rims and if they turn out fine i'll cut em up. Does the glue just seperate or is it all guey?

No the glue seperates you will have to clean some glue off your tire and wheel but thats all :)
