Deep dish rims

[POPEYE]

Just thought i'd update ya incase anyone else with three piece split rims wanted to do likewise, i had to strip two of mine as i blew the seals (see IOTY)
and ended up reversing the spider so the inner rim was on the outside giveing me a deep dish wheel, i found it's working ok, turning without catching on anything (bear in mind i havs a 2" body lift, not sure about standard) i removed the 30mm spacers so in theory less stress on the bearings (?) or at least back to standard, downside is you got a lot of polishing to do unless you paint em, two back'uns to do and just realised i got no spare now as the spares are on the back, so this is when i'll get a sodding puncture
Just have to make some arch extensions as thier pokeing out about an inch,

Ian , you have done exactly wot the wheels were designed for . Many of the race boys would use different offset outer rims and put them on either side of the centre main rim to set up the vehicles . I discussed this with Surferjess and compaired his and another Surf at Tony and Linda's BBQ with the same as you have done .

What did you use in the end to seal the rim halves with the spider Ian?

And i thought i'd descovered something new Rick hehe well i'm just glad i've not f**ked things up like i useually do,
I got em off ebay Clayton, never seen any since except on a jap auction site and they were gold centered, i'm on the lookout for another one for the spare (carrier) or at least similar
Andy i used some expansion joint sealer (non silicon) my brother in law got from work, it seems sturdy stuff and so far it's holding up ok, the tyre guy was impressed with it, I did put it on thick, put it between the join then a layer over the joint when it was bolted up and another layer over that when the first had dried, better than paying £60 a wheel to those to**ers at milton keynes
