Does anyone know where you can get rear steel wheels 15x12 in a offset? I would like to have a 2 inch offset but 3 would work.
Thanks

Thanks I had thought about that but wasnt sure how well it would work. What did you use to cut the center out?

I used a cut off wheel on an air die grinder , and a carbide cuttting tool on the air die grinder,,,it takes some work but just cut the weld out,,,once you got it seperated use a side grinder to clean it up. If you leave the tire on you can set the offset the way you like, and check for trueness by simpley bolting the wheel on the buggy and rotating it slowly. I set up a indicator with a concrete block with something clamped to it. The center is a snug fit even before welding so it don't slip out easy. Once you get happy with the trueness just spot weld it in 4 places then stitch it back up like it was from the factory. is this clear as mud?
