I just finished putting rear wheels on the front hubs on a OEM Toyota bB and I also put front wheels on the rear axel of an OEM Honda Accord.

I practiced on the OEM's because I didn't want to mess up my Bits!

Anyway it wasn't to hard to do. The hardest part was getting the spacing correct so the wheels would be in the right positions.

I'm still having problems with the steering on the Toyota. The big front wheels occasionally get stuck on the wheel wells when turning. The Honda has no problems!

Sorry for the bad pic (I don't have a digital camera). I used my scanner to get the picture.

Sorry, about the picture... I can't seem to figure out how to post a picture!

Let me know how and I'll try again.

Anyway, it's not the greatest shot. I plan on taking picture with a regular camera but then I'll have to wait to get them developed.

Wow! How about that! The pic did show up!

Cool, the mod looks great on the bB!

DriveWRX i forgot to ask a while back.what did u use as a spacer for the other wheel without the spacer??? I'm talking about the wheel that was opposite to the gear side of the rear axle. Thanks!

How's about a nice and easy mod of taking the front wheels from a ZipZap and putting them on a Bit?

Namuna How does the bit handle with the Zip Zap wheels??? I was thinking of doing that also, but i already have another set of wheels ready for this mod, and i wanted black wheels.

The front wheel wells are too narrow to accomidate the new, bigger wheels so running it this way ain't no good.

But once I took the body off and ran with just the chassis, it works great. It holds a nice SOLID straight line (with the stock front wheels the car always veered to a side).

So, my next mod is to take the dremel to the wheel wells and all should be peachy!

I wonder if a body with a bigger front wheel well will do better......i have a clone gloria body and it seams to have a larger front wheel well.

umm about the fullsize wheels....
whats the easiest way to take off the rear wheels from the axle?
cant seem to get them off without using force....

also what looks better, all front size rims or all rear size rims? im talking diameter wise

Are you talking about the Bits or ZZ? Cause with the ZZ there's no reason to remove the wheels from the rear axle, cause they're the EXACT SAME SIZE as the front wheels.

Again, not sure if you're talkin about Bits or ZZ...Either way, my vote is for the rear-wheel size diameter on all 4 wheels.
