wheel help offset and machineing

[ant_tay]

i have oz superturismos they are 16x7 et 37 what is the most i could take off the mounting face so they are still safe
got about 5mm of flay surface untill you get to the angled bit if you know what i mean and 5mm on the angled bit

[ant_tay]

anyone any ideas

[Sloth]

id say 4 mm

[ant_tay]

that will give me 41 offset dont think thats gonna be good enough is it

[Jack]

I wouldn't even go as much as 4mm tbh. A 1mm deep hub mount face isn't much.

Cut/Roll your arches and bend them out a bit, if its not too low you could probably get away with standard or machining them down 1mm or so.

[ant_tay]

its lowered 50 to 60 mm front 60mm rear and the arch lips are cut away

[Stuart]

bear in mind that the width dictates the offset, not what the original 4" rims were for ;)

have a play with the wheel offset stuff in my sig link to find out more :D



As for machining Aloys, yes you can do it, but you need to check how deep the bottom of the bolt holes are before you get it on the mill/lathe

im taking the wheel to the machinist guy and see what he says about it all and what he thinks is safe to take off
