front rims

[craig72]

Hi all
I am build my first buggy a 22 and am putting on schumacher staggers tyres on the front rims (everyone uses these at my local track) now the rim is wider than the tyre so i have been told just cut the rim down,do i just cut through the rim and reduce its size or just cut away the lip of the rim the small egde that sticks up of the rim.
cheers craig

hello craig ,

the point is to cut on the inner side of the rim , until you reache the inner upstand ring , also you must remove the inner ring on the outside of the rim , because the bead of the tires is a bit wide, and they wont fit properly between 2 upstanding side's .

also there are men riding with the inner ring still on it, and gleu the tyre behind the second inner upstand ring, same effect, not so nice looking
