hey is there a reason why i can 't reverse the tyre so the valve is on the inside eg under the tire, case they would give me more offset and more stable.

May be a silly idea. but hey it a daily driver.

some sierra wheels are reversible, but only the ones bevelled on both sides of wheel stud holes..
I ran mine on the back like that for over a year, but the front wasn't possible because the disc calipers caught the rim.
that gave me 30mm extra on each wheel, so 60mm track width increase.
then I paid to have the front rims offset, and ran it like that for ages.
Its quite a pain crawling under a muddy truck to adjust air pressure, tho

When IO got my rims flipped I had the holes filled then re-drilled on the new face further in (to avoid ripping valves off)

Dude I have a spare set that have been flipped with tires. But I don’t have anyway of sending them. They increase track by 60mm and have the valves on the right side

thanks

thanks for the offer, but i might just save for a set of f100 15 x8 rims and throw some 31s on it. and wa the freight would kill me.
