Look closely and you'll see the centres are the right way round

The offset on those must be a good 50mm+ now!
Did they balance up ok given the home made approach of the mod...?

Surprisingly well actually.
We made them grinding out the welds and pressing the centre part of the steelie out (using a apple press as I recall) then welding it back in the other way round.
Oh to get it to track true we put the truck on axle stands, put the rim on the hub and run the Landy in gear on tick over. Then leaned on a metal bar against the rim and everytime it scuffed hit rim with a hammer till it stopped scuffing all the way round.
Welded it up and chucked the tyre on.

Just how we roll round here!

I think successful outcome of that mod is well worth a high 6.

You're suffering with the very problem I had with my indicators before I binned them in favour of the current set up.

Yup. 1 wasn't quite enough so went for the pair.

Tyres are 265/75/16s on 8x16 rims with -35mm offset.
