Ok I did a search maybe i did it wrong but if a person had a set of 22.5 Alum semi wheels what has to be done to run 22" tires?

Also where can it be done?

Lock can do it. He won't tell us how. I've asked a few hundred times.

pm lockone I think it's like $150 a wheel. Don't remember.

Here you go.

I think I pretty much figured it out. It ain't rocket science once you start to think about it.

But out of respect for my buddy, Lock (and the fear of looking like a total tool if I'm wrong), I'm gonna keep quiet.

Yea I have looked at them and had a few thoughts on how they are doing it. I have never seen a wheel after its been turned thoe.

lock whont thell , logicly enough he's made a living out of reworking those wheels .
he does rework wheels you bring but they better be straight and not cracked from wat he told me with used wheels he discards 2 on every ten because there damaged

didnt lock say he wasted 4 or 5 sets tryin to get it just right?


just a thought if ya dont have a ton of spares to gothrough... or a deep pocket with lots of cash at the bottom.

Ive seen the process with my own eyes and it takes a high tech milling machine to get it right. Better off letting the professional do ti.

Just jack up the rear end ot the truck, mount the rims, get out your hand grinder, make sure the truck is secure, place truck in drive and hold grinder steady........real steady in order to properly balance the wheels......Thats how TWAT does it everytime... :D:D:D
