hi everyone i have a question about the rubber tires and rims for the ATGM STRYKER that iam going to be priming and painting soon.
should i mount the rims first and glue in place and prime and paint then mount the rubber wheels after the fact?

yep. push the rim into the tire once done push in with the back side of the rim to avoid any damage to the paint

i would let them off drill a hole at the back and shove a cocktail stick in them to hold. you could break the suspension when you go to put the tire on if you glue them on first
