Too hard to post pics. They are just multispoke fwd offset wheels with no dish. Will look cool flipped.
The problem doesn't come from the offset chris, just how the tyre sits on the bead. It couldn't have come from stretch though, because the rims were only 6inches wide. I believe it was due to the inner bead not being shaped right to hold the tyre on with forces being applied in the opposite direction to what was intended for. And the same applies for the outter bead. I can't really see any other reason for it but the tyres kept falling off. Just warning you that strange things can happen when flipping them. Oh it might have been the camber as it was on a mark II with irs so perhaps that helped push it off the bead.
Was nobumps' car off oldschool too incase you want to see the setup.

I don't think you'll be able to see them if I link them from trademe because your work will still be blocking the address to the link. I can't see pictures on oldschool when people link them.

I'm not the best at explaining it so find out what type these are, as in j, jj, f etc etc.. My mate flipped centres on some j rims and the tyres kept falling off. I'm completely just guessing here but I have heard that j is nuts and I'm thinking that may be why his tyres kept falling off. If they are jj or better then I would think they should be alright. Does that make any sense to you? Makes perfect sense if they're a single "J". The "J" refers to the small bump which helps retain the bead in place on the rim when the tyre is flat, or cornering when the tyres are under inflated. This is on the outer rim as it's the one that is most heavily loaded and most likely to allow the tyre bead come off. "JJ" meand both the outer AND inner rims have the bumps and are a considerably safer wheel. There are some other types of bump designs and they have different letters but they're very rare. BTW, I used to have an old Pontiac that just had a flat rim and a flat would allow the tyre to move all over the place - not good. |

So, the moral of the story is, don't flip j but jj might be ok. |

They'll be sweet. Remember its not a complete flip asthough you are bolting them on backwards, you flip the centre onto the other side of the inner bolting surface so that takes away quite abit of the offset.
The other thing you can do is find another cheap set of wheels and bolt both inners together ;D
