Default Percy Wheelrite

Does anyone know if it will simulate a 12inch wheel? Product says 11+. 11what exatctly? Also, do they supply enough wire that I can simualte a 335/ 30 tire?
I need to order ASAP if it will work.

Percy's Customer service people told me that the sale/tech people were in a meeting a few hours ago. I left a message, they never called and were closed when I called an hour ago.

Trying to get all this stuff done so I can take advantage of the GP store deal on wheels.

Mike Redpath: Do you have any in stock?

Thanks,
Jim

I just looked at mine.. looks like it goes to about 11 1/4 inches. And you would need a longer piece of wire but it's just 16 gauge wire.

Maybe Percy's knows a trick to make it go wider. You could "modify" it to be 12 inches wide.. it doesn't look too tough.

Sold out Monday, more coming. For some reason they are hot again. I have not sold one for several months and just sold 2 within a couple days. I will be ordering one of the others for the purpose of renting out shortly.
