And a bit of an arse if the first time you drive off the caliper rips the vave off.
Rodders have been reverse rimming wheels since the year dot.
A chap on my other forum spent his bank holiday doing this:
Fronts banded to 8", rears to 9" to go on a mates Golf.
Banding doesn't generally involve cutting the wheel center out though ollie, the outer rim would be removed, by parting off on a lathe or by running an angle ginder round the rim. A loop is then tacked in place between the original inner and outer rim before being welded up.
Ahh my bad, yeah if all you want to do is increase the track then spacers will work.
I suspect with a bit of hunting you'd find someone to reverse rim, re-rim or even band your wheels for not much more though. You'd get the look all the cool fasionable kids are going for as well as the wide track.
Is there an oval track near you, the guys running hotrods/2ltr Rods etc are likely to know someone.
I'm not overly interested in banding them as I have 6.5j's on the clio as it is, just want a wider track as the rears are 1/2 inch smaller than the front on the track, damn fwd cars
Yeah, that seems to show up even more on mine with the front wheels outer rim just outside the arch, and the rears well inside.
I've a set of 6mm spacers to go on, not that they will make much difference. I could probably get away with going to 8-10mm on my studs but thats still not enough to properly bring them in line.
I'm getting hubcentric spacers, they bolt onto the car then the wheels bolt onto them, safest way I think, til I can afford some proper deep dish lovelyness
