Fred,
Looking into this further, and talking to Terry about it, you are absolutely correct. Thankyou very much
I was completely under the wrong impression!
The good news is that this seems more do-able now. I'll have to use longer bolts and add roughly a 20mm rim spacer (between the two pieces of the wheel)
So I guess I'll be visiting a machine shop anyways because I don't think this type of spacer is readily available.
I forgot to take pictures
but will tomorrow!
Thanks again!

Thanks again!
Phil,
To get the correct offset when you have an ET45 you have to push the centre line of the rim inwards relative to the mating face on the mounting hub. To do this you have to either remove material from the hub or add offset at the rim. Thus machining anything at the rim sounds counter intuitive.
On my front wheels the outboard section is 1.5 inches and the inboard rim is 8 inches. Mounted on my centre hub gives an offset of 68mm [perfect]. Theoretically I could fit [if they made them] 1 inch and 8.5 inch sections and that would give an offset of approx 80mm with the same 9.5 inch width.
My rear wheels have a 2 inch outer section and an 8 inch inner rim to give a 10 inch wheel with 60mm offset. That is how it works.
Have a good hol and look forward to seeing what it is you are visualiing in due course.
Regards
Fred
