I have had a hand in building some widened wheels. To do a real nice job, you really need a dual chuck lathe. That way you can chuck the wheel in both heads,split it,put spacer ring in, then put it rite back together. nothing moves. It is also nice to be able to weld the wheel while it is on the lathe.
Can use the same dual chuck setup for changing the backspacing. Still might have to adjust the run out alittle, but it would be real close.
