Bloody awesome stuff guys, I sent y’all a message as well on Facebook too, looking to get some wheels modified, after seeing this I would say I’d love to go full rolled guards, stretched tyre and crazy camber for my weeks ride 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Here's another way of working out your wheel and tyre sizes starting with OEM sizes and comparing them to the ones you want to run. Measuring your clearances will still be the same. www.wheel-size.com/calc/?wheel1=245-40-18X8ET41&wheel2=275-45-17X7.5ET40&fcl=50mm&wcl=30mm&scl=50mm&sr=0mm
I have recently done this with my hilux and custom steel rims, my question is do you consider ADR rules and regulations in terms of max allowable tyre width and then legal rim width, track width and allowable increase etc, etc... then further more the vehicle not complying with these rules for insurance purposes namely MAIB ? No criticism cause I love this stuff, just no mention of it?
No we don't. We do what the customer asks us to do. If they want ADR legal stuff then we can measure up and give them sizes, but in 8 years of doing this we've never been asked lol. People don't come to us for ADR legal wheels.
Ok, thanks for your reply, there is obviously many vehicles that don’t comply out there, I went down the legal route for my piece of mind but I suppose the law loves a good defect notice and I would assume you guys have a disclaimer in place if the insurance come looking for someone to be held accountable!! Love your work

Hi guys , just a question about scrub radius ? That front wheel setup looks to have a huge scrub radius and overhang on that small outside bearing , does it track ok ? Or does it follow depressions in the road ?
Does tram line a little as anything with a good wide tyre on the front will, but is actually very good. 1 hand driving most of the time. A reco'd steering box and the roll centre adjusters made the biggest difference.
...and the less offsetty wheels we built for it in the last episode. But jeez it looked good on the Phantoms. I could almost forgive it's wayward handling.
Here from The Skid Factory :D
Awesome presentation, thanks a bunch! The Skid President brought me here.

Very helpful video
Appreciate it.😊
Good video. I am starting to get it lol.... I think.
I'll order a long sleeve shirt too for something cool to wear on track days 👌.
Hahahaha!
What size tyres would you run on these new rims?
What new rims?

Hi guys just a question do you guys make wheels for any car if i have a design of a wheel that i want
We usually modify old wheels. The trick with yours will be getting a centre milled up. But we know of people who do that too. Won't be cheap.
