Here is a wheel simulator that we machined up to use in on our shop for wheel offsets & for when we are setting up rear suspensions.. I have been asked if I can make one to sell.. In order to set up a machine for me to run these components for a assembled unit I would have to have more request or intrest.. It has a total of 18 machined components.. It is not the easiest tool to set up on a tire but works great!! It can be used for 15 to 20 inch wheels & up to 14 inch wide rims.. Bolt circles for 5x4.5 to 5x5.. I dont have a cost on what I would sell these for but the more assemble units I have to sell the lower the cost to produce :unibrow: Let me know what you guys think! Thank you!

I'm interested. Would you be able to use this to figure out tire size also without having a tire to mount it to?

We did not design this tool for tire size.. We use the attached tool for that.. It mounts & opens to measure how wide of a tire can be used..

Very nice looking tool there buddy.. Puts the wheelrite to shame.

I cut up a similar working tool as the wheerite using wires for the tire. I was too lazy to turn on the mill to make a nice one like yours. JR

Nice tools. Are you going to make them both? Will you sell as a set or seperately if you get enough interest?

Cris@JCG

I can make either tool.. & yes I would sell them seperately.. We are looking @ getting getting cost out of the wheel simulator.. When we first made the tool we looked @ offering it to sell @ 800.00..

I don't suppose you ended up making an extra one of these which you would be interested in renting for a week or so, did you? :)
