Azrckcrawler 12-20-2001, 05:34 AM The 1.5" wheel spacers I ordered finally arrived. Based on some advice from this board I bought them from Performance Wheel and Tire. They were a week late and didn't include any lug nuts (I called to make sure they'd come with them) and are bare aluminum (not really a surprise, just FYI). Hopefully Spidertrax will start making them for the Toy axles, they are the cheapest ones out there, include lug nuts and plating. Alfred 12-20-2001, 08:08 AM a cheap trick down here in s-america is to un-weld the center plate, and weld it on "inside-out" this gives you between 1-3" of extra offset... you run the rim also inside out, with the great benefit of having the "longer" lip of the rim to the outside (thus its VERY hard to pop a bead - even at 2psi). thats an old trick of the dessert racers in the atacama dessert they charge locally around us$15,- per rim, very nice work... i will post a view pics in a couple of days... off course thats steel rims only :D later alfred samiguy 08-25-2004, 12:48 PM i will post a view pics in a couple of days... I've been waiting patiently for almost 3 years, you gonna post those pictures or what?

Marketing them as stud adaptors. But at a very appealing price. Is steel going to be a biggie as far as unsprung weight goes ? Paul. Elvis 08-25-2004, 03:13 PM Maybe Alfreds idea would be better. Got some pic's yet Alfie? Paul. jones 08-25-2004, 03:37 PM He's talking about reversing the center of the rim. A search of the board for the terms "reversed centers" will tell you all you want to know. :D http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46474&highlight=reversed+center Elvis 08-25-2004, 06:34 PM Thanks Jones, Paul.
