Can you take rims off of a model car and then put them on your Xmod. Because I have a model with awesome rims on it but i don't know if they would fit and i don't want to do any drilling if I don't know if they will work.

just try to put the rims on the axel and see if they fit and if you can screw the lug nut on..
if you cant then youll have to do some moddin to it
and if the rims are bigger then i dont see a problem with the tires sliping

youll jus have to try it yourself

It really matters as to how the wheel is designed. If it has a huge hole in the center, it won't work. What I would do is pop out the front axles (what the wheels are mounted on), then tape your nice wheels on. Turn it to maximum on both sides, and see if anything hits. if it doesn't, you're in the clear in the front. Now, measure the distance between your xmod wheels and the fender. Take off the stock xmod wheel and measure it. Take the measurement of the space between the wheels and fender (make sure you measured it at the point where the wheel and fender are closest) and multiply it by 2. Add the diameter of the whole xmod wheel to it. Now, measure your nice wheels. If it is slightly less than the number you came up with in stock form, they will work in back.
