wheel offsets, what to do?
Ok so im in a pickle its either switch to IFS and build a whole new front clip on my truck(see thread slamming a 65) OR i need to find somewhere/someone who has the right size offset steelie that looks like the ones ive already painted for the front of my truck. Now what ever it is right now is factory size. I need it to be offset about 1 inch further back. 2 would probably be the max offset it could go.
someone help me out. Know ofa truck with the same lug patter factory wheels with that offset? or a car? or something? or somewhere that i could buy them new wit hthat offset?
anything helps thanks guys.

I had a machine shop make me a set for the rear of a Pro-Street 77 ford truck that I built
years ago, these wheel were dished 11 inches to the inside! There are several companies that make the wheels any dish that you would want. But, they are the ones that are old school looking, "inny" style hubcap. A couple of these companies could have made me a set with the heavy duty centers, but I would have had to send them the heavy duty centers, like the wheels you painted gold that you are wanting dished (newer style).
PS, The heavy duty centers are thicker, and some are welded, some are riveted (2) and some have (3) rivets. I think the (3) rivets would be the ones you are looking for.
PSS, I have posted on several of these wheel posts if you do a search for my posts you will see where I have posted links to these companies. Also there is OP that posted a link to a Super Ford sites article to make them yourself.
Heres the link for making the wheels

this is the kind of info i need, but i need to go the other direction with it if you will. My factory ford rim needs to be offset 1 inch in the opposite direction. My truck is bagged on I beams, and when all the way lifted the tires just barely rub. so i have to find wheels with a different offset.
