I don't think the internal bead is the same height on any wheel as the outer bead. Should stay on if you glue it correctly. Can't remeber if I have ever cut down rulux wheels but I am sure plenty of people have.

You don't need foam for the standard staggers, the design of the tyre itself means that they are not necessary. Cut staggers are designed more conventionally and do require foam inserts. They will stretch over the wider wheels. Havent used them myself on carpet but I know Chris petch is using them and they seem to work ok. I found outside the cut staggers gave me too much steering but other people liked them.
