|  I don't see why it wouldn't work..... they are both 3.2 rims and it should pull the bead in closer together to make a nice buldgy tire. |

| I just put some swamp dawgs on maximizers, and I didn't have any problems. I am using them on my E-Maxx crawler that is just locked up. I think I am going to put these on a Pede, if or when I get one. I think you need a larger tire for the Maxx. |

| I put my JumboMaxx Swamp Dawg's on Maximizer beadlocks. The problem is that the width of the JSD's tire bead is twice what it is on a standard Maxx tire. Kona Joe fixed this by cutting the rings, I fixed it by cutting the bead "lip" in half with a razor blade. Either way is good.  EDIT: Here's what I did. 1) Pull the bead out and mark the center with a marker 2) Then cut the bead along the mark line. Now your JSD's will fit the Maximizers and the rims will still werk with other tires. Last edited by Grizzly4x4; 01-27-2005 at 10:03 PM. |

| Cut-n-shut jumbos. Waiting for the glue to dry, then they are goin on the maximizers. I did the 3/16 off of the rings. I had an extra set, so I can still use other tires. More pics after bead rings are done. |

| Griz's method will allow you to continue to use the bead locks on other tires, where as trimming the ring will make mounting standard width beads questionable. I trimmed the tire bead on my Dawgs. 'Pony |
