wheel not welded straight

Post by BlakeJ »

Hey guys, ive just got some second hand 15/8s for the zook, not sure what the offset is but its pretty big, the rear have about 10mm more backspacing than the front. The front are in the factory location but the rear have been cut and welded by the looks. I put the rims on the truck while on blocks and the dont spin quite square, they have about 5-8mm displacement in the wobble. Should i get elite wheels to cut and weld them back to the original offset, cut and weld them straight where they are or just leave them?
cheers

I've got a couple of buckled rims with at least that amount of wobble, I just run them on the rear :D
