OK Carl what i did was get the tyres taken off and undo all the bolts around the split rim, then after polishing or if you want painting em just re fit together with what used to be the back rim fitted at the front, as ya can see it made the wheels stick out further than when standard, when reassembling
em i used some expansion joint sealant smeared on the mateing surfaces, then a good spread of it over the join, give it a couple of days to "go off" and then refit the tyres, no prob;s with leaking since, this may be possible with two piece rims, i'll know when i recieve Nicks spare wheel, which i think is two piece, mine do stick out past the arches a bit but so far i'v had no probs with old bill or mot, better than useing spacers i think as the center "spider" is where it should be, on the hub and not on spaced bolts, there's probably in issue with extra load on the bearings but i've had no probs so far,
>edit< thinking, it may be possible to reverse em on two piece without haveing to remove the tyre, i'll soon know
