Unfortunately, the Blackfoot tires are prone to sidewall cracks, moreso with slight changes in the rims dimensions. The tires aren’t stretched over the wheels, they fit as if they were on the stock rims. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both my Bruiser and Blackfoot trucks are on stands to avoid tire cracks. Keep up the good work! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tecnica2001 196 Posted January 3, 2020 The wheels are 2.2, but they are too wide for the Blackfoot tires, so I cut the outer lip and glued the tire on the wheel👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Biz73 603 Posted March 30, 2020 Thanks. I saw those on Ebay a couple days ago and had the link bookmarked. Have you run them on any cars yet? Just curious how well they work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tecnica2001 196 Posted March 31, 2020 Worked on the interior a bit more, added the steering wheel and a small digital display (look alike), I gotta say, it came out better than expected, maybe some paint and more details in the future “maybe”😁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
