mounting lst tires on clod rims

[rcracer]

hey guys, has anyone done this without a problem? I know the rim diameters are different so I was wondering if it was still possible
thanks

Almost anything is possible if you have the time and the know how
I have never done that with those rims tires, but I would say get some old Clod/txt tires and cut/glue the sidewalls to your other tires. The more careful you are, the better the results.

Best solution:
RCKjeep makes bead lock rings that will allow you to run maxx sized tires on clod or txt wheels. He is sending me some straight off the mill and I wil be doing a review of them shortly. However, I know they work well and you shouldn't hesitate to order them now!

Thanks Dirk, I'll look into those

rckJeeps beadlocks only work with TXT wheels to fit Maxx tires. Clod wheels do not have the "fins" that the tires sit on.

I thought they only worked on TXT wheels, because the Clod's don't have the fins?
I guess some creative glueing could fix that.

Hmmm , I think I read this somewhere before.

I cut the fins off my txt wheels when I mounted my BFT's on them. However, I made a better seat for the bead of the tire. The fins provide very little holding power.

It's really funny if you're reading just like how they do their commentation.

I use dave's bead rings and they rock. i cut the fins out of my rims and glued in some extra ruber so i could get a nice smooth bead to glue to. im sure you could do the same with some clod rims.

Damn Skyjacker! This thread was going places before you posted back on topic!

Griz, Dirk, you may continue...

Not to get off topic but yes, that is the way you do it. Use some rubber strips to create a new bead seat and it works awesome!

Now....back to MXC:
Thanks Gui! Too bad the concrete is the only thing that gets hard in your pants.......
