tires narrowed now for the rims??????

[rckjeep]

Well I've narrowed a couple of masher 2K's but need to narrow the rim. I've done some slight narrowing but nothing major. I need a 2.2 rim that 3/4" to an 1" wide.
my question is there a 4wd buggy wheel thats close to an 1" wide thats 2.2? if not show me some extremely narrowed wheels.
Here's the tires

here you can see the black RTV I used for the inside. It's very flexible so it should work good.

i think these would work for you they are 3/4 inch wide, 2.2 inch and use a standard hex, but its not from a 4wd buggy http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXJE65&P=7

How do you know they have a hex? I can see anything from the links saying they do.

I cut up a wheel today. I just need make a new inner wheel bead. I'm think it'll work. Plus the offset is better. Thanks though

here's some pics of the wheel mounted and unmounted

I know they have a hex cause i had a bandit as my first r/c way back, Anyways your wheels and tires are looking good!

Well I did some brain storming and found out that a small storm has been circling. So I took the protion I cut off the wheel and cut the old tire bead off like you'd normally narrow a wheel then sanded it flat and glued it to the remaining piece of wheel backwards. Once I get the it glued nice and secure I'll cut off the left-over wheel. Then I'll have a narrowed wheel with beads on both sides.

So here's the parts I cut off the wheel and the finished narrowed wheel. It's got a mounting width of 1".


Here's how they look on my buggy.
