Yep, cut them with the body scissors. Measure the difference in rim sizes, divide by two (since it's a circle), then measure that on the tire and cut the excess. VIOLA! LPR badlands. I don't like the stretch and glue method. For one thing, that totally defeats the main purpose of mounting badlands to LPR rims - tire ballooning! LPR rims have a bigger sidewall so there's less flex. Keeping all the side and then mounting it that way isn't very efficient or wise. Eventually the tire will rip off the bead, even with the best glue job. Plus they are MUCH more liable to ripping if you stretch them on. Don't they look horrible to boot?


:D
