1.7 on 1.9 fitment

[z71baja]

Is it possible to mount a 1.7 tire on a 1.9 wheel without any fitment or mounting issues? I'm looking to mount a 1.7 bogger on an Axial wheel

Thanks for the help

It'll fit no problem.

I personally like a few of the 1.7 tires out but refuse to invest in a set of 1.7 wheels. A 1.7 tire on a 1.9 wheel is more common than a 1.7 on a 1.7

I run the 1.7 iroks which are 4.19 tall, with 1.9 vp omf wheels, and 4.25 c.i. foams on my c1 rig. Everything looks, fits, and works awsome.

I too run the 1.7 irok on 1.9 gearhead rc trail King wheels with 4.25 ci foams (lil nova soft outer all around) honestly I didn't have much issues but I was a little lazy and figured I wouldn't ever buy 1.7 wheels so I cut the bead out to fit the 1.9 wheels. It was actually a very easy mod to do and made my life 10x easier. I did all this to run class 1, but come to find out my local group doesn't get all technical and just runs a class for 1.9 and another class for 2.2 lolll so I swapped em out and now I run the tsl sx on my trail kings and I gotta say that my "cut" irok's have a much cleaner hold on the bead then my prolines. If u have no intention of ever getting 1.7 wheels I suggest making the "cut"

Yes, but 1.9 wheels look kinda out of place on some setups especially when using TF2 or other hardbodies. The 1.7 tire on 1.9 wheel looks better than all 1.9 setup though.

What is "the cut"? You mean cut and glue back for 1.9 tire bead size or?

I am running RC4WD 1.7 Iroks on RC4WD 1.9 Steel wheels. I know they are both the same company, but, worked no problem.




Just to give you an idea of what they could look like..

No gluing neccessary, if you look along the bead. There's a bead to about 1.9 in size (this is my theory, could be wrong but I made the cut and it's a perfect fit) then for the 1.7 tires there's an extension and another bead ring extends. If you look at it there's a unmistakable ring. I cut along that ring and was left with a perfect 1.9 sized bead. (I can't seem to post pictures right now. If u wanna pm I can show some pictures but I'm the worst at DIY and if I could get it done a monkey with 4 left feet would knock it out the park) cuz my group that I crawl with only separates the groups into class 1 = 1.9 and class 2 = 2.2 I swapped them out for proline tsl sx (my favorite) the irok's haven't seen dirt but I yanked as hard I can at all angles and the bead held steady, not a millimeter of slip. I'm surprised no ones has mentioned this before, or maybe even made the mod, unless it ruins the tire but so far I haven't seen any issues that could arise pretty damn simple and made life a lot easier. As stated previously, if you have no intention of running/purchasing separate 1.7 wheels I think it's a well worth it mod and it's free

I run 1.7 rc4wd iroks on 1.9 lockedup beadlocks mount an go! No cutting needed

[wsmb]

It can definitely be done without the cutting. But I have no intention of ever running or even purchasing a 1.7 wheel (I feel as the wheels get smaller the details and design gets too cluttered) so I figured I'd make my life easier. Honestly I am probably the worst at DIY on this forum and I got it done watching some tv. So I figured I'd make the suggestion for anyone who's either struggling or lazy like me

Ahhh, pictures!!!!! Just what the doctor ordered. I'll post up my outcome when my 1.7 boogers arrive from RPP

[Mnster]

I'm running 1.7 boggers on 1.9 SSD's. Love the combo so far.

[CODYBOY]

1.7 IROKS on 1.9 Locked-UP wheels, fit like a dream.

[scalecrawlerguy114]

So i have been looking around for some bead lock wheels for the future and saw these locked up wheels and they look pretty sweet can someone give me some info on them?
