    I was painting my front rim and got some over spray on the tire, is there a way that I could get it off? I was thinking of using carb cleaner any other suggestions?

    Thanks

    NO! Carb cleaner is not a good idea. It'll dry out the rubber. Not sure what is a good idea but carb clean is not.

    hmmm........makes sense that never realy crossed my mind. I tried rubbing some of it away with armor and it didn't seem to work that well

    Wait for the rims to dry and set up well ( couple of days ) then use spray nine or super clean, some type of strong cleaner and it should come off

    I'd suggest you try WD-40.
    Failing that, and i'm thinking it won't, try Goof-Off citrus.

    120 grit sandpaper.

    Then 400 wet. Followed by 800, 1000 and then 1200 with armor all. Boy will those sidewalls look good.

    :D

    I can't help, but I couldn't resist either.
