Ironworks used to do this with 2.2 tires and 1.9 sidewalls. Helhedded has a set of 2.2 flatirons with 1.9 beads. Looked good on his jeep.

Wow, That was done so nicely!


It may be worth trying it out for myself; the 1.55 Rock Crushers are just terrible tires, but have a great donor sidewall/bead! I want to say I saw someone trying to sell a cut set that Shon modified. I'll try to find the ad.

Found his build thread!

I enjoyed putting those tires together and loved the outcome so much that I made and STILL use my own personal set on the Courier. I loved the set Helhedded had, they were broken in so perfectly!

The tires yall are talking about are very doable and easy to make look nice, but I have problems making taller 1.55 tires due to how skinny the wheels I have are. If you have some wider 1.55s I could see it being an amazing look and Im interested in seeing what yall come up with. If anyone needs any ideas or help Ide be happy to take a look at it as well, just let me know!

This thread is for 2.2 tires with 1.7 or 1.55 beads, not with 1.9 beads.
