Just a thought, and probably not feasible (I have no experience of split rims) but if the inner rim part has more dish than the outer one (not sure if it has), could you swap them over for an instant increase in offset? A bit like reversing the wheel on the hub but leaving the mounting face of the wheel alone? You'd need to drill a new hole for an outward facing valve and leave a short stemmed valve fitted inboard but that shouldn't be too difficult. You may even be able to adapt some of those long 90 degree valves you see on the inboard wheel on the rear of lorries etc with twin-wheel axles.

I don't think you can reverse the rims as you say, but you can def buy different outer rims to increase the dish!
Can you alter your sig as well, just the one pic of your wagons would do, you've ruined my thread in a single post ;p

I'm no IT geek, I'm just curious as to why this would be |

Its all good now though No offence taken or intended ;D and I appreciate what you're saying, but the two together add up to 640 pixels wide and your photos are 800 wide so I can't understand why it would affect the thread I'm confuzzled......... |

Very nice car, and those wheels look schweeeet!  Painting the centres white was an inspired choice, they're gonna look great on the car |
