I have used both and never trimmed either.

If Proline knew what they where doing theywould have made a better foam. I think they just have a cheap foam stock and throw it in with every tire.

You want to have a little extra side foam, this fills in the side way and it will be the first to break down, so the little extra compensates for the break down.

Just stuff it all in there. The CF's will mount up real nice in the wheels bead.

Not to really throw a wrench at you, plug the vent hole on the wheel with shoo goo or something similar and then get a leather punch and vent the tire on the inner side wall. 2 holes 180* apart from each other. This will prevent dirt and water from entering tire and break down your foams very early.

George, and you punch the tread face of the tire also to let water and dirt out, yes? And now that I ask it gets me thinking. If the face of the tire is vented to let water and dirt out, why vent it anywhere else?
got paint?
