I read the post u made about turning the front wheels inside out... haha it does give quite a wider stance, but what should i do because i have an 04 blaster with hydralic front disc brakes, and the wheel doesn't turn b/c the valve catches on the brake caliper every time it goes arond. Should i just take out the stock valve and plug the hole, and then drill on the other side of the rim and install a new valve? any ideas would be nice
                           thanks,
                               Justin

justin,


I have did the same mod as you but my blaster is older. what you have to do with the newer blasters is just buy the new "flat" valve stems. they only protrude out from the rim a little bit. I would say only about a 1/4 inch or so. I have never done this but i have seen it done. I think also you get a special valve tool to inflate the tires or you have to order one but not sure. a bigger automotive store might have them in stock or can order them. hope this helps.

obsidian is right, just go out to the local parts store and buy a couple short valve stems.

but be sure to put a little dawn dish washing liquid on the new ones so they'll slide into the wheels easier.
