    You need to make a new tire and wheel based on them, and then edit the Jbeam so they are wider than the stock one.

    No, no wiki about it.
    It's not different from duplicating a part.

    Go to vehicles/common/wheel and find the .jbeam file that contains that wheel.
    Duplicate the part (ie. copy that section into a new .jbeam file, and change name to it, so that it doesn't conflict with the original one.
    Do the same for vehicles/common/tires, where you can find the corresponding tire.

    Now that you got that wheel and tires as standalone part, you can modify them.
    If you just want to modify the width, you just need to find that value, and increase it (you will probably need to increase the X-scale of the flexbodies too, so that they also get wider visually.

    You can also adjust the parameters in the suspension jbeam to add more to the track width adjustment.

    There is more than one.
    You have to find which one contains that wheel you want to modify.

    He wants to make the wheel larger, not increase the track width (From what I understood from his post)

    In the suspension files, as mentioned.

    You'll need to increase the range allowed for the variable.

    Sort of, I was hospitalized.
    Code:
    ["name", "type", "unit", "category", "default", "min", "max", "title", "description"]
    ["$trackwidth_F", "range", "m", "Alignment", 0.30, 0.30, 0.35, "Front Track Width", "Widen or narrow the wheel track"{"stepDis":0.005}]
    This is what you should be looking at. Max width allowed is currently 0.35.

    Create a new suspension with a wider range of track widths allowed.

    Look at the code above. Default is 0.30, Minimum is 0.30, Maximum is 0.35.

    As a result, track width can range from 0.30 (min) to 0.35 (max).

    This determines how far on the X axis the wheel nodes can be offset. Increase max value widen the range.

    Oh (facepalm).

    I thought you wanted to make the actual tires and wheel wider.
    That's what happens when something it's not clearly explained.

    Forget what I said above.


    If you edit your .pc file manually, you should be able to set it to what you want.
