I was wondering if someone with more skill than me may be able to help? I enjoy racing musclecars in GTL, to include on 'bude and Gamers Crib servers. I had not noticed before with the Mercury Cougar: the ver. hosted on GC servers has different wheels and tire sizes from the Cougar hosted on the 'bude. The Cougar on the 'bude servers actually has wider wheels and tyres, to give a more correct and "meaner" stance to the car.
I was wondering if this is possible with another musclecar available for download from GC: 1974 Ford XB Falcon Coupe? I have previously asked the modder who originally ported the XB Falcon to GTL, and he graciously gave permission to "tweak" the tyres on the car (THANK YOU, Raven Morpheus!):

But alas, by the time I figured out how to resize the tyres and view them on the model in 3DSimEd, my trial period expired before I could figure out how to re-package and save them to see what they would look like in the game.
I know that interest in this game is waning, but is it possible for someone to do modification to the XB Falcon similar to that done with the Cougar for 'bude, to make the wheels and tyres wider and stagger the front to rear sizes, look more "correct" as the cars were raced in the Australian Touring Car Championships?
Any advice appreciated.
ed: with a little bit of tweaking--i.e. a little more grip to simulate wider bias ply racing slicks--I think this car would be a good candidate for the GTC-76 class on Altbierbude, to go against the Boss, Cougar and Pontiac TA. I was actually able to turn very competitive lap times to the Boss 302 at Kyalami '79, even in its current configuration.
