I plan on to do some practice on carpet over the wintertime and do have schumacher mini pins -the pre glued EOS version- and some wide staggers -only the rubber-, so my question would be, witch inserts/foams do you prefere and do you trim the foams? If so, how exactly do you trim them?
These would be for my 4wd car.

I saw your comment and picture on the xb2 thread, am i right, you use 4wd front wheels and cut the inner raw, for 2wd?
What inserts/foams you prefere to use on your xb2?



Thanks in advace and
For the front 4WD Wide Stagger tires we use the Schumacher Front Medium foam U6733.

For the 2WD we use the 2WD front wheels and cut them down to fit the narrow 2WD Stagger tires (see picture below).

The #329910 are slightly narrower than the 4WD front wheels (#369912).

Use a set of curved body scissors and it will take 2-3 seconds pr wheel

For the front 2WD Stagger tires we never use foams inside.

They are meant to be run without foams and definitely work better this way
