how long did all 4 tires take you to do? did you even attempt to balance them?

Thats fantastic. You better get some pics of them mounted and some videos!

Pretty cool. Are you sure you have enough clearance to clear the 1" bolts along with the larger 245/45 tires?

Are you allowed to sharpen the bolts? The ones I have seen have a few more bolts in them.

Aliengotpsi

The first one took 4 hours to do. The 2nd one was around 2 hours... I knew what I wanted to do after the first was done..

I do have a tire mounting machine and balancer but don't think they will balance out.. I don't think it will be a big deal tho.. I will see how far they are off for ****s.

Aliengotpsi

Yes we can sharpen the bolts.. I will be jacking up the suspension 2'' I may have to trim some of the front bumper, or I can let the bolts do it hahah...

If I can't get traction I can add more bolts.

and this doesnt leak?

Aliengotpsi

'as is' yes they will leak. I will be adding a piece of belting (rubber) between the bolt heads and tube that will be going in .

There's another thread around in the general section where a dude posted a few pics of his homemade ice tires. cfdfireman1

the guy that built the tires below used windshield sealer and it worked for him. On my spare tire built ice tires I tried silicone, no go, slime sucked worse I now have carpet between bolt heads and inner tubes and that seams to work I believe that's how they do it on motorcycle tires. You have to be careful with clearance that's one of the reasons I went with the spare tire build. Get yourself a snowmobile spike sharpener they're pretty cheap.
