Default B4 Slim Front Wheels

Can someone help !

I've got to fit some Shummy Slim Front Tyres to my B4.1, i've been told to just cut the outer edge of the wheel and glue the tyre to the inside rib of the wheel !

Is this right ?

or

Is their a 3rd party supplier that makes a slim front wheel to fit the B4's

thanks for your time
Dez

Which tyres are they? The only ones I'm aware of that don't fit are staggers.

There's a thread here dsicussing it http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44601

I don't think anyone does make a thinner wheel.

No dont cut the outside rim off or you`;; have no wheel
Cut the inside rim off then the tyre fits perfect. Done this to mine and you dont need to glue them either. I havnt and theyve not come off

You could try U3766 from Schumacher - this is the narrow wheel for the cougar, and will fit the b4.
