good stuff! the kind of things that i dont usually look into but know ill have to learn some day if i ever reach a point in my life where ill have a shed for car stuff, thanks for sharing little things like that
Great video. I need to do exactly what you did but to Series-2 SS Commodore rims. Could probably buy an old Bridgeport for the prices I was quoted in Perth. Think I'm going to use router/trimmer with cutting bit that has bearing on end and run around the slightly larger diameter outer part (roughly 71ish mm) and then have custom thickness hub centric rings made to get me back to the 69.5mm. Looks like a far cheaper option so far.
Ended up here by way of looking for solutions to make wheels with a smaller bore than my hub fit to my vehicle. I am not knowledgeable in any sort of machine work but just wanted to say how impressed I am with your explanation and level of detail…would you consider this a standard task for a machine shop, or am I better going with a hub adapter/spacer?
A lot of old machines will be in imperial because the united states had a huge influence on machining throughout the 20th century. A lot of newer machines and gauging will easily flip between metric and imperial.
Minus offset numbers are equivalent to having a spacer installed. Negative offset moves wheel outwards from centre, positive offset brings wheel inwards from centre.

Does this process dramatically weaken the rims? I'm in need to do this myself but when I asked people about having it done, and random guy said no one probably wants to do it for me since no one wants to be responsible for weakening the rim like that since it could be dangerous. I have a set of aluminium rims with centre bore 60.1 millimeter, and want to make it 67.1 millimeter. Does it have to do with how much material to take off, that the increase is too much in my case?
Yeah that's a pretty large increase but in my experance most professional shops won't touch car stuff just because of the 0.1% chance it goes wrong it's just not worth it

great video! only ever seen this done on lathes previously!
Yeah lathe would be easier but mine isn't big enough for wheels this size. This seems like the best option for the machennes I have

This is basic work for any machine shop. Only issue is some places don't like doing car parts because they are worried about being sued.
I’d need to go from 72.50 or 72.56 (depending what spec wheels I can get my hands on) to 74.1 on one axle, and 72.50 or 72.56 to 72.6 on the other.
@@Conorsev got it. Thanks for the reply
Excellent work and ethics! Thank you!👍
the anime girl in the back... he is one of us xD
Bought them on holiday in Japan 😁
I remember when I spotted the GuP ones on some facebook post in Oz Honda lamo
A little much on the rpm, I've had those boaring bars explode, low gear around 200-250 on aluminum, great job, great video..

Wish you lived near where I live!
Have you don’t any offset machining?
Awesome!
What about machining out the back face of wheel hub to go from -2 offset to 0 for example?
Machining material off would go the other way. If you took 2mm off it would go from 0 to +2. You need to add a 2mm spacer to go to -2
Minus offset numbers are equivalent to having a spacer installed.
Negative offset moves wheel outwards from centre, positive offset brings wheel inwards from centre.
How did you get the lathe and the Bridgeport in your shed man? Hiab?

@@Conorsev Allright, might have to reconsider then. Thanks for the reply! :D
Where are located? I need some work like that done!
Canberra Australia
What's the name of that tool? Thank you!
boring head
What depth did you use mate?
Like depth of cut?
need shed
