Did you need to change your gearing to compensate for the smaller tires?

Are those painted or older powder coated wheels ???

They look like they'll handle much better than the stockers. That blaster looks like it's ready to tear up the track.

Thanks guys.....well as far as the gearing I put a 42 tooth rear sproket but haven't done the front,I put the spocket on last week w/ the bigger tires & it was already better so we'll see hopefully I didn't go backwards, the wheels are just old stockers!!!! I painted the front ones(touched up) & am getting ready to paint the YELLOW ones!!!! My Mom likes the yellow cuz that way she can see us on the track LOL I have some silver ones but they have knobbies on them.. Just don't want to get aluminum cuz I do too much wheel bangin they wouldn't last unless of course we got beadlocks $$$$$$$ we just compensate for the steel wheels w/ MORE HP :devil
