Default How to put oversized tires on the (easy way)

Difficulty around 4/10
Time 5-10 Mins per tire, 25-40 Mins for total Process

Ok, well ive seen how other people have put oversized tires on the truck or hummer xmods. So i dug around in my room and found some huge tires, and wanted to attatch them to my mudder, so i figured out the easiest way i could think of to do it and it be reversible to.

This is my first Tut so if there are any mistakes, let me know.

Ok,
Step #1
You will need the following items:

An xmod truck chassi (with wide wheel upgrade, optional on that it just works better),

Your Oversized tires,

Some Model glue (plastic Cement) or Super glue (but model glue removes easier,

A round File,

Stock hummer, f-150, or Nissan Titan, Rims & Tires,

Your tool to remove wheel nuts (the one shown in pick is the best to use),

X-acto Knife (optional),

And a soldering iron/gun, (not pictured)

And yes im missing a tire.

Note this will only work with rims and tires like the ones im using, This may also be similar to other tires but the steps may be a bit different.

Step #2
Ok, first thing you do is after your soldering Iron/gun has heated up, put it in the hole on the rim and push it through, and move it around a little to make the hole bigger, so the round file can move around in it.



Step #3
Then take your round file and start filing out the center hole, Use the X-acto Knife to cut off the plastic hanging off of the rim when your done filing.



Then once you have done that, it should look like the pick below,
After:

Before:

There should now be enough room to fit the Tool through the hole and have a little wiggle room.

Step #4
Then take some Model Glue and/or Super Glue, and put it on the tread of the xmod tire.

Then once you have done that put it on to of the tire and make sure you have it on straight,

Then you push it in the center till it wont go down anymore.


Repeat steps 2-4 for the other three Tires

Here is the finished look,




This is something similar:

Ok, i did something similar to this Tut so here it is below, I cut and sanded out the center of the wheel then put a off road upgrade rim in the back of it and painted it Flat Black.
