I want to get my wheels rebuilt with a bigger offset so I don't have to run such a huge spacer (mine are also 17x8/17x10). Biggest pain I have had with them though is on a big bump the tyre touches the inside of the arch and bubbles the paint on the outside.
Might be a noob statement but tires on rims can throw this out completely. Different tire manufacturers can have different dimensions despite being the same size. Some have rolled edges while some have a square edges. Unfortunately trial and error is the only real way to determine accurately.
I like that your sharpie is a perfect match for the tool.....you nailed it!--- now, I'd really like to see some ability to snap on some lego-like block to approximate where the inner wheel lip would be, and even better to approximate the height of the tire.
I run 8s up front on my ST build. ET 10.6 with a 21mm spacer giving a -10 ET. 20 will be too inboard for your wheels. Find a 8 inch fuch and test mount to your front. For rears I’m 9inch with 3 ET and plenty of room to run a 10 mm spacer

Hi Jeff, is that due to ET or are you running tall tires? >25 inch diameter?
@@williamhawkins513 Not tall tyres 255/40r17.
Exactly what I just suggested to Michael - that trailing arm link look damn close for ET+30

Great tool… I would definitely re-measure the rear with a rotor installed just to be 100% before ordering the wheels…👍🏻
I love this vid, and it’s going to help me a lot with rebuilding my BBS RS’ (for a 930), to fit my narrow body… but I just can’t get over pickelball.
Great video! Looks like you put the tool to good use 🤜🤛
Will this work for drum brakes?
**sings** that’s what she saiddddddd 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I need that tool, that looks badass
Your timing on this is incredible. I will be doing this in the next day or two.
You can borrow the tool or cruise down here if you like.
@@rennch. Having my buddy from Wheel Pros do the measurements, but it's good to know what I'm looking at.
Well, I'm sure he knows what he's doing. :-)
Going to take t back to SEMA again this year
Hope to see it , and meet ya

Michael - hope you not hit your trailing arm with those 10's at +30.
Have a look on modelling that tool all the way around.
Sure beats the hell out of how I had to do it on at least 3 cars. Eyeball it
👏🍺👍🏻
Secret is to buy a floppy plastic macwiggler🤣
Well worth the dough, imho.
