widening steelies

[Jarred]

cheers grant will give them a buzz tomorrow!
comoeon jarred i cant help but love it haha something about a wide steel wheel with a whitewall wrapped round it thats so simple but so so effective

Oh don't worry man, I love widened steelies. its just the offsets make it look silly imo, cause the wheels and tyres aren't even remotely under teh gaurds.

You have to be sooooooooper (or super) low to pull off 13's too. Look at steve's mk 1 cab thread, and you'll know what I mean.

Becareful when widening the standard 13" centres. The actual centre is smaller than the after market ROH hoop.



Mk1 standard centre cut out for reference.

The barrels come in either 8 or 10" so obviously with a mk1 you want 8 with a higher front offset. I've yet to hear of someone getting it done for less than $160 / wheel.

is there a work around for that.

ROH hoops come in 12,13,14,15,16 and 17.

Widths of 4,5,6,7,7.5,8,9,9.5,10,12 and 13.

Whubbies you can build up the centre with weld and then have it machines on a lathe.
