Did I miss the offset on those wheels? They look center offset?

Are 14" width wheels the suggested size for these tires?

I am trying to go ALOT narrower.

 

[chiefheaphy]

Yes, 20X14 is the recommended rim size. I had them made with 5" backspacing.

I want pictures of you when you try to fill the gas tank for the first time... you might even want to make it a youtube video now that I think about it.

made this "diaper" to hang the np200 last night. Still need to make some mounting tabs and come up with some wings to bolt to the frame. Chucks trucks sells something like this for $400. The more and more I weld the more I learn that, like painting, its all in the prep.

Yeah if you don't prep a surface to weld it usually looks like crap . The more you put in the better the outcome is

[chiefheaphy]

[Craig Artzner]

That looks top notch! Excellent work! Very inspiring.

 

[54inches]

I like how that looks and works. Can I steal you idea and take credit for it?

 

[y5mgisi]

Thats pretty cool!

 

[chiefheaphy]

Thanks guys...steal away. Ill even give you dimensions.

Can I consider myself a self taught rookie fabricator?

 

[Craig Artzner]

There's nothing "rookie" about your work. I've seen work done by "professionals" that wouldn't hold a candle to your skillz...

You can do more than I can. I would have never thought of ideas like yours.

 

[54inches]

Keep the ideas and pics coming, that way I can finish my Burb quicker!
