Nick's 379 build

[sneaky-pete]

Hey Nick,
This is how I fit the wedico tires to my meir wheels.
First I ground down the lips on the inside with my bench grinder(be careful not
to nick the outer rim).



In this pic,I cut off the long portion of the hub so I could use my hub covers.


Then I wet the tire to help slide it on (this helps when you are doing a bunch of
tires).


When you get the tire on the wheel it will be lop-sided.
You will need to work the tire around the wheel with your fingers.





Then you are done!

That looks great Troy. There is no mods to the tires?

Nope, Meir wheels, Wedico tires, I believe they are going for the low-profile look.
