      How does one go about ordering the custom Bandits? Discount Tire is a US Mag distributor in my area, but they have absolutely no clue as to what i'm talking about when I inquired about ordering custom offset wheels. I used a Verified Fabrication Wheel Off-Set Calculating Tool to figure out my requirements on my '67 GTO with narrowed currie rear... thanks

      Thanks Mike! It absolutely works, as long as you add the extra 1/4" to the backspacing, as discussed. Thanks!

    can you change the offset measurements of the wheel with this tool?

    • @FastMonty
      @FastMonty  2 місяці тому

      Once a wheel is manufactured, you can not change the offset. Unless you shave the mounting pad. Not sure if that's what you're asking?

    This is why I prefer to work with offset rather than backspacing. Offset is measured from the center, so there's no ambiguity. When I order custom wheels, I always specify offset and let the wheel manufacturer figure out what that means for backspacing on their specific wheels

    • @FastMonty
      @FastMonty  3 місяці тому

      Yeah, depends on the wheel manufacturer too. Thanks for the comment!

    Im confused as to why they make this cool laser cut tool and we can use any of the laser etched measurements on the tool. What am i missing?

    • @FastMonty
      @FastMonty  3 місяці тому

      That's my point, you need to measure it the way I did to verify everything. Don't just blindly trust the measurements on the tool. Have fun!

    I might be misunderstanding an already confusing situation. But from your video I gather what your saying Is that backspacing is measured from the inside of the rim where the tire bead rests, or whats called the bead seat not the outer edge. Yet Race Star wheels, Weld and Mickey Thompson all say that Its measured from the outer most edge. Which is It? I mean It's 1/2" difference from one to the other. That could make or break the Install? Or am I misunderstanding your explanation?

      yeah, it's a confusing subject. And, thankfully, yes, you're confusing things. :) Backspacing is measured from the OUTSIDE lip, just like all the wheel companies like. I was saying that the Measured Wheel width is the inside measurement between lips. So, if you order a 12" wide wheel... it's actually 12 + 1/2 + 1/2 = 13" from outside edge to outside edge. In this video I noted that the tool does NOT mimic the outside edge correctly, so you have to adjust for it. Hope that helps!
