Flipped rim centers, 8" or 10"

Post by SKANK »

I'm flipping the centers of some rims to increase track width on a hilux.

What would be OK to run, strictly offroad, 15x8 flipped or 15x10 flipped.

cheers SKANK

You only need an 8" rim for that tyre. I use 37" boggers on 8" rims for my hilux.

how r u planning to align your centers once u have flipped them? I recently did one of mine, made up some blocks on the bench and pressed the center into the rim until it bottomed out on the blocks. Worked fairly well, I have 1mm run out on the dial guage... would be interested to know if there's a better, more accurate way of achieving this...

cheers

Thats prob better than it was originally. Im yet to see a sunraisier style rim run any where near true.

so u recon a 1mm deflection will be ok to drive on... what about at 100km/hr on the highway??

are you saying that even new sunies aren't overly true?? someone did tell me that even in the factory all they do is press the centers in to a point... no fine adjusting done.

Try not to let your mind wander...It is too
small and fragile to be out by itself.
