Anybody know how far the centre dish on a 15x8 ROH sunrasia style rim can be moved eg to gain more offset?

Any specs regarding this on other steel wheels available in Aus would be cool too!

How much do you want. We import US built rims with more offset than the ROH. Also do ROH rims in black with valve protectors welded on.

I have about a 5 inch offset that i did myself and looks great, stronger than a stock wheel (welded all the way around) and they also run pretty true!

Very easy to do!!!!!!

Flip them and weld them all the way around :cool:

I have flipped and offset to the wazoo rims stronger and easy to do. Just take your time measuring to ensure they are straight and true and no problems. Although did forget to move the valves so now I have to reach around the back of the wheel when i air up

With the flipped rims how do you guys get around the wheel brace (the ones that have four ends --> + ) not fitting inside the rimto get the wheel nuts off :roll:

Cut and weld 6inch longer sectino into the + wheel brace? Make your own? Make it a T not a + Shape?

when you weld your rims, they are better if stitch welded, not fully welded, because if a crack develops in the weld, it will finish at the end of that weld, and not continue all the way around. just like on a race car, you dont seam weld the floor, you actually stitch weld it.

I'm no welder, but I would have thought a crack would generally appear at the start or finish of a weld. Wouldn't you avoid this with a continuous weld ?

i'm no welder either but i know you want to minimize the heat affected zone. stitch welding, moving around and letting the work cool will help reduce the haz. the crystal structure of the metal in the haz is changed and it will get more brittle. you should try to reduce that effect. small haz is also the reason why tig is better than mig is better than arc is better than oxy, etc...
