    Great setup. I would imagine the same is possible with 19.5" semi wheels?

    I bought some super singles
    *I was told* got milled to a 22” with brand new 33” allterrian tires on them, so I put them on my truck and didn’t even make it half a mile before the tire came off the rim… no harm was done, I’m 95% sure they weren’t milled down but how could I check to be sure? Or Is it possible they are milled and the tires just didn’t get a good bead? I’ve never messed with these kinda wheels so any input is helpful

      If it’s not milled the rim would just taper directly to the lip, if it is there would be a small flat step about 3/4 inch wide before the lip

    Where are you located? I have a set of 22.5 that need to mill down to 22. How much do you charge? I'm in Los Angeles if you know anyone that can do this near me that works also.

    We had a guy come into my shop today trying to have us mount some 24 inch super low profile tires on to milled down 24.5 diesel wheels. Had to turn him away for liability reasons, but I was blown away this was even a thing. Had to Google some pictures to see what was going on here lol. Super cool to see something different tho

    Man you had her good and straight! Nice set up. Did you leave a radius or did your mill leave it at a 90? We just turned a set on a lathe and it finished at 90 but they work great.

    • @devriesfabmachine8721
      @devriesfabmachine8721  Рік тому

      Thanks! Lathe I’m sure would be much faster but mine is a little small for that. I picked the carbide inserts on the cutter because they have a decent radius on them, but it’s still much smaller radius than the wheels originally had.

As machinists, it's all too easy for us to lose sight of this. I've seen guys with surface grinders and welders in their small shops but regard proper air filtration and ventilation as an afterthought- as if it was a difference that made no difference.

    As the wheel manufacturer, have you tested these wheels for lateral load now that you removed a substantial part of the bead area? What is the point of voiding the $500 wheels warranty? seems really risky, in todays times when lawsuits abound. An improperly repaired tire cost Mossy Ford 28.8m dollars, this can ruin a business when something goes wrong.

    • @devriesfabmachine8721
      @devriesfabmachine8721  Рік тому +8

      Nope, I didn’t invent this process, but the thinnest point after the cut is still thicker than most lighter duty aluminum wheels. The point is to be able to use them on a pickup truck with commonly available 24” car tires. 24.5 load rating factory (as a 24.5)is 7400lbs, load rating on a standard 24” car tire is 2200lbs so you’d have a hard time overloading the rim before the tire.
