gringletaube, I sent you a couple PM's did you get them or have they been lost in the internet black hole?

gringeltaube, did you send a PM? There is nothing in my inbox. Does it go to a different place?

I am a bit confused on the wheel flange trimming. I can find my way around a metal shop (not always very well) but I still understand basic concepts. What I do not understand is why the lip would need to be built up after the intial trim. If you cut the flange down a bit (not all the way down...

Oh and the wheel bolt pattern whatever is easiest/cheapest. I can change the hub easy.

Thank you gentlemen for the respones, Wow I thought that was really high. Sad that is was not. I was looking for a 20x10 wheel with as much backspace as I could have without getting crazy custom. Which means if 8 inches of backspace on a custom wheel would be 200.00 and 12 inches of backspace...

OUCH!! Took a hit today. I do not have a big enough lathe to do rim so I went to a machine shop with a big enough lathe and asked them about the job. They told me to do a rim they would not just cut it down, but would have to cut it down and build up the lip with weld. (Gringeltaube did you do...

RE: it is alive! Oh I forgot, I am pretty sure the wheel is a two piece wheel. There is a guy about an hr from me that has a yard of military rigs and parts. I called and asked him if he had 5 ton wheels with the extreme backspace (sometimes called the bridge wheels) He said he did. I have see...

it is alive! Gringeltaube---My idea was on it's last breath but it is up and alive again! Did you use a machine to reform the lip and trim it? If so, what was the name of the machine so that I may ask if a shop has it when asking about wheel rebuilding. On a related note, I noticed there are...

Jimbo--Thank you for taking the time to post a picture of the wheels. It is very helpful. Worth a thousand words as they say. chevycrew--In my limited understanding of wheel rebuilding, situations where a wheel has hit a curb and the lip/edge has become damaged, new metal is applied and then...

RE: more on this I have searched enough and called enough tire dealers to confirm what was said by gringletaube and confirmed by offroadfabworks. Sorry for being a skeptic, I have a tough time taking people's word for things. I found the infromation provided very helpful as it allowed me to...

RE: more on this Thank you for the reply jimbo. Sadly, I am in need of 20x10 wheels. I notice you said " for automotive style tires as opposed to truck or military tires" That is the information I have been seeking. What is the difference between wheels for automotive use and wheels for...

more on this Gringletaube--thank you for the response. I understand your position but have found others which claim the opposite. Also, when looking at large radial motorcycle tires it seems the flange height would be non issue (except might the high lip scrape the road on a tight turn?) As...

Still unknown Thank you for the information. It was a welcome feeling to get so many replies. If I understand correctly there is a disagreement about whether the civilian tire will fit. Offroadfab, that is a good price for a custom wheel. I ran across a military wheel for much less and being...

Good day, I don't have a deuce. Actually, I do not have a military vehicle of any type. I am working on a custom project and need a 20x10 wheel with an extreme backspace. Searching for wheels and backspaces and the like brought me to this site. My question is most likely odd but hopefully the...
