Default How to Narrow Wheels!!

I tried and tried to search using "How to Narrow Wheels" "Narrow Wheel" but found no results. My search skills are usually pretty good but not on this try.

I have some of the Proline 3.8 Commando Weld Racing Beadlock Wheels and would like to run Axial 3.8 Falkens or RC4WD Rok Lox. This will be for a custom Wraith XL so no need for bashing strength but strong enough to throttle out if need be. So, I need narrow the wheels to fit the tires but haven't found a tutorial. Can anyone point me to one or a brief suggestion on how to do so?

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks EeePee that helped a lot. I read all 15pages of the Drill press rim mod's with VP hubs thread (should be a Sticky) at the top of this forum and i am good to go. I have full confidence i can do it and not have them grenade on me.

People have been using a drill press and cut off wheel as long as I can recall. About 2005 or so. With Clodbuster and TXT wheels that start out like four inches wide.
