I don't think you can do it as the weight rating for off road does not allow custom made rims. Best option is to buy new rims. Probably the cheapest too if you look for a set of Desert Rats from Speedy Wheels around town.

I've had a couple sets done over the years but rodw is right. It's probably cheaper to get new rims.

Turn your standard white wheels around

The factory 5.5 wheels can be fitted either way. They are even countersunk on the back so that the wheel nuts fit in them. You just need some 6 mm alloy spacers for the front. If you are good enough you can make them.

Saves paying $25 a wheel to have the centres machined out, then $35 a wheel for new outer bands, then $15 to have the centres welded in straight, and then $50 a wheel to have them repowdercoated.

Cost about $50 for 4 wheel spacers from your local tyre store or nag wheel place.

It is a 1 litre. Please do not spend millions on it. drive it, have some fun and then get a later model car rather than spend $4000-5000 on a 25 year old car that you will sell for $600

as said, by TZAR, what's the reason for the offset rims? what's the purpose? What's your plans for the future?
