Popular Post Stellaghost Posted April 16 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 16 Sussed it.... Don't know why I didn't think of it before !!! It occurred to me that @landroversforever is putting spacers on his wheels to sort things out. So I reckon if I put spacers on the outside that will push the wheel in.........sorted !!!!

dangerous doug Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I know it’s more work but I do have some 404 wheels you can have if you want to do a similar thing to what you did before. They’re just sitting outside so would rather they get some use if it helps EDIT: looks like you could cut the centres out and weld them Straight to the 17s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaghost Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 I have two plans of attack up my sleeve... 1st, dismantle one rim and see how far I can push things 2nd, knock up some flat plate inners on the lathe or mill using rotary table Regards Stephen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
