Man, that crap you wrote actually looks like it took effort to be so bad. This isn't bitpimps, no need for this crap. Though, you did manage to spell a fairly large word, convenience, correctly. Perhaps there is some hope that some day you will progress out of illiterateness. |

Jazz32,
I removed your previous post because it was pure rant and no help to the original post. if NEO-R wants to type with such bad spelling and grammar...LET HIM. If you want to comment on it, then do so in an aside. Like trying to answer his question and then saying he might get more help if he worked on his spelling and grammar. And no trash talkin Bitpimps! It's just as disliked there as anywhere. NEO-R, While Jazz32 went overboard about your choices in language use, it DOES deter people from wanting to respond. I know I personally had to read some of your sentences a couple of times and if I have to do that then I think you don't want to bother with typing things out right...Which then leads me to wonder if I should bother with responding. |
Sorry for what I said I deleted the post I wrote:)

Namuna,
You state in your own post how written crap deters people from helping, as I stated in my deleted post. I also stated that he should buy the wheels to see if they fit (advice). Therefore, I feel my rant was in the form of an aside. Perhaps next time I won't put the rant first. Both these are not worthless to the initial topic (which was). The other posts need to be deleted then too if you're going to hold to that standard. I have valued this site highly since I stumbled upon it. If I was reading crap like this post contains, I would be detered from using this site. What reputation do you want this site to carry? I have also scoured this site to see if there were any forum rules and found none. I also consider it unnaceptable that a new member on for the forum be allowed to trash talk a valued and established, knowledgable member who devotes a lot of time to helping other members. He comes here to get information for his miniscule problem, while I am here to give information. I don't know about you, or the other members, but i'm very put off by posts written so poorly without care or respect, and it deters me from wanting to use forums at all. |
In case you haven't read in another post, I appologize for my bad grammar and it was wrong to deter people from posts like this one. If anything, I feel bad about what happened here. That aside, I read the previous post and thanks for the advice. I appreiciate it, but it'll cost me. Anyways, if any of you out there have installed bigger wheels on there X-mod (first gen or EVO), then go ahead and post some pics of your handywork!

On my Firebird, the body upgrade kit came with a little bit taller back snap piece for the bigger tires that came with it.
Wanting more speed but not wanting to buy the motor upgrade, I stretched a pair of tires over a pair already on the rim. This gave the tires a larger diameter for higher top speed. The rear fit fine with that extended clip. Trying to do the same to the front tires will not be as easy. I'm assumign the truck tires would be similar to the ones I put on my firebird, so I don't know for sure. I'd be less worried about the body than the wheel catching on the chasis at full turn. If you limited the steering via the remote, you might be able to get past that. Compressing the suspension and turning all the way to the right, you've only got about 1mm between the tire and the chasis. Also, as to my other post, I would like to see a policy of such posts being considered unacceptable after 1 request to use better writing. There's been a lot of that since january and I've been getting frustrated. That message was related to a more than just this post. |
Again, I'm truly sorry for all that. It won't happen again on the forums. Otherwise, good thinkin' with the tire diameter affecting performance,too. I also took that into account.I tried the tires today. Too big for the wheel wells.I'll soon trim and wide-body the car to make it compatible with the new wheels, and give it's appearance a little more pizazz, if you will.

Make sure to get some pictures up when you do, I'd be curious to see them.
