Guys im looking to get into the dually scene have a chance to get a square body crew cab with a newer fuel injected 454. and i want to run the 22.5 semi wheels on it but i want to grind them to the 22 so i can get a lower profile tire when i bag it. does anyone have a howto on this?
Welcome, search old posts on the topic and you will find out no one will give out that info. If they do, they might as well close their shop. Your better off sending to a reputable company to have th milled. Its not rocket science but their methods are tried and proven. Trevor at tennessee tire and wheel "lockone" on here can either mill your wheels or sell you a set ready to go. He also sells adapters, caps and lug covers.
ill go ghetto for you. mount a semi wheel on the rear, jack it up, start motor, put in drive, make a fixture to mount to a chassis/frame rail, and mill the wheels your self.
Funny that you guys mentioned that. When I started doing these wheels about 12 years ago. That was our first few attempts at machining them. Did not turn out too good for the wheel or a buddies hand.
As for machining the wheels, We do them everyday here in house with a same or next day turnaround.
