multi offset rim

multi offset rim
is there such a rim made that you can run both ways round so you could have a -44 offset and a +44 offset just by spinning them
Rims flipped from $50

yeah but that would be a bit obvious and another set of bolts to come loose.

Havent seen it on luxs etc and not with an offset as large as 44mm but some rims can be flipped, they need a very flat plate, not curved like you see on hilux sunnies.
My mates sierra rims can be run both ways - they have the stud counter sink on both faces.

Re: multi offset rim
The thickness of the centre would kick in so it would be +44 vs -28 (or whatever) wouldn't it? Not that this matters.stock 4runner wrote:is there such a rim made that you can run both ways round so you could have a -44 offset and a +44 offset just by spinning them
There might be some alloys that would be able to do this out of the box I would think, although they might look shiat.
This is not legal advice.
If you went to a 3-piece rim then anything is possible.
The issues with just swapping the rim over are:
1. Enough spacing on the rim face to clear brakes when flipped
2. Nut style, would need to be tapered on both side of the rim, or mags machined on both sides.
3. Air valves are generally on one side of the rim, which is easily resolved if running tubeless tires.
Assuming that you address these three, there is no reason.

Need a bigger shed...
Pardon my ignorance but how would you pump up your tubeless tyres without a valve of some sort somewhere?Dirty wrote:If you went to a 3-piece rim then anything is possible.

George Carlin, an American Comedian said; "Think of how stupid the average person is, and realise that half of them are stupider than that".
I assume he means two valves, one on each side? Easy with tubeless.DAMKIA wrote:Pardon my ignorance but how would you pump up your tubeless tyres without a valve of some sort somewhere?Dirty wrote:If you went to a 3-piece rim then anything is possible.

rim..
why...
Assuming you want the offset for 4x4 work, you shouldn't need the taper on that side, if you do want it, double taper the holes..
no need to run a thick centre or double the holes..

Just want to play...........
It would be worth it if you had some benefit from the extra track width off-road, but wanted to be strictly legal on-road. Less hassle than a second set of wheels.
Pity you can't just flip them to change the diameter.
How good would it be if someone invented "tread wraps", like snow chains but actually a second inflatable tyre that wraps around your 31" ATs and turns them into 35" extreme mud terrains. Slip them on, pump them tight, and off you go.
