Hey guys, I remember seeing a few of you using that jig for fitting tires...

its an adjustable fake wheel so to speak.. lets you adjust for back spacing, rim width and diameter, it can hold the rubber on and bolts onto the lugs..

anyway, I can't seem to find any info on one, and I would love to have one at the shop. It seems like a priceless tool to me..

Can any of you point me in the right direction??


Thanks in advance ;):thumbsup:

And another variant that works without use of a tire:

Travis,

I designed a similar tool that I am having made. When it is finished I will see what it takes to build them. I origianally did this just for me. When I saw how many people on here were interested in them, I decided to see what it would take to build them. It should be done in a couple weeks. Mine will do 15-20" wheels 5-12" wide. 5x4.5 and 5x4.75 are supported right now, because thats all I needed. I posted a picture below of the design. let me know if you are interested. I'll let you know if I can be competative.
