Topic: Custom wheels

[rEdnECkwHeE1eR]

I was aondering if any one knew how nuch it is to get your wheels changed to custom offset?(1-2")I've herd $10 a wheel but this seems hard to believe. Does anyone know how much? Or how they do it?

Unless I am still living in my closet, I dont think you cant get them changed. If you press them it will deform and most likely go out of round. I am pretty sure you have to order them with specified offsets.

Are you just looking for a wider track or to clear your shocks? If so just run wheel spacers.

I know stockton wheel or portland wheel both do it.They can change anywheel you want I am pretty sure,,but I don't know about the 10$ a wheel though..seems a bit on the cheap side.. :b_s:,,I'm not saying its not true,,just seems cheap..
I know stockton wheel runs ads in most of the 4x4 mag ads but I don't know there number..

I just got 8 x 15 whitespoke wheels from Americas Tire. 28.00 and 10.00 ea to do a custom backspace.

total 38.00 ea

to do a custom backspace.

See so that's just a backspace, like a wheel spacer hard welded to the wheel, right? They dont actually modify the wheels actual offset do they?

Americas tire does the cusom BS? What if you want your own wheel changed?

[cruzila]

AM Tire will have them made. Still Cheaper to buy what you want then sell the ones you have.

Yea,,that seems like a ripp'n price! :bowdown:I just got bfg's for my suburban from them.They gave me a killer deal for 4 -35's siped and mounted and balanced...There alot cheaper then schwabs in most cases... :up:

I called stockton wheel a few months ago and the price they quoted me to change the backspacing was exactly the same price they charge for a steel wheel with the backspacing of your choice. Not worth it espeacially since I'd have to pay to ship them there and back.

Mike, a little late but, some companies will cut out your wheel centers and weld them back on (or new centers) in a different location. I've never heard of a company welding on a spacer to the back of the wheel center. In theory it would be the same but would require longer wheel studs and would add stress. Just thought I'd answer your question
