DBXL tire and wheel size?

[DougStar]

Well the wheels I am interested in are available for both but they don't come with the beadlock rings and that is why I was asking if all the beadlock rings are interchangeable?

Yeah they are??

They will physically fit, but watch out on the inner beedlock that it doesn't rub the tie rod. I cant remember if it was a screw head type issue or the actual beedlock.

I had that with my losi a madmax rims?

 

[Seandonato73]

Yep there you go, couldn't remember what wheel it was.

Well just to let whoever finds this thread I went with 195x80 tires and they don't rub in any way on my DBXL without any wheel extenders.

She looks good mate, ?

Were you able to use your factory DBXL foams, or did you have to buy the larger ones?

 

[Seandonato73]

The dbxl foams are larger then the baja foams.

I bought the tire and foams from Rovan because they were the only reasonably priced set I could find in that size.They were 195x80.I would have liked a 200 or even 205 but couldn't find any.

I have a few quick question regarding tire and foam stiffness.I recently switched from the original DBXL tires and foams to the Mad Max clones and foams from Rovan.The tires and foams I currently have on the truck are very stiff in comparison to the originals they seemed very pliable and soft in comparison.I was wondering if a softer combo allows for more user error when driving because it seems to me that now I tend to have more roll overs than with the originals.I am thinking the softer original tire and foams allow the tire to roll under the wheel a bit during hard cornering instead of catching and rolling the truck over.What does everyone think and am I wrong for thinking this is the difference in my curent situation?

slow down b4 u turns then??
i guess each foam/tread set up will act differently on each surface...so trail n error i guess? until u find ur sweet combo ?

 

[siblues]

LMFAO yeah I know it is mostly my fault but it seems that the stiffer set up is a bit more unforgiving.The traction on the new tires is night and day to the old ones but they are super stiff and even a quick shift in direction can get the wheels off the ground and almost flip it.I will get used to it I am sure but I am also wondering if a softer foam would be a better fit for how I drive.

 

[evssv]

and yes sidewall stiffness will affect how it handles 100%?
try the old foams +new tyres?...see how it is then ?

 

[Seandonato73]

The stock tires on a db are terribly soft. I went threw a few of them before I switched them out. Pluse they didn't grip for poop. Even my trenchers will flip the db over in a hard turn, and they are soft. Running taped stock foams atm.

 

[siblues]

and you are also running extenders right?I may have to try a set myself

 

[Live2Ride]

Just found this forum and this is a great thread. It is exactly the info I was looking for.
I ordered a set of these. Madmax Tarmac Busters with yellow beadlocks. .

This is what it currently looks like.

Nice DBXL and welcome to the forum.I would love to see more pics

 

[Live2Ride]

Thanks Siblues. I’ll post up some pics when the tires get here. Probably 2-3 weeks. Here’s a pic with my SBR.

Welcome to LSF, and why 2-3 weeks for tires?
