Tool I saw some time ago on Shady Tree Mechanic ...

They had a tool that would help you figure out why offset id needed for a specific width wheel. Does anyone know where to find/get it?

Shady Tree Mechanic ... is that the Ghetto version

a tape measure?-chet

Haha, funny.

I thought I saw something on TNN a while back that they mounted a tire too and then bolted it to the lugs. It was on slides so they could move the tire in and out of the wheel well and get their offset.

I emailed TNN about it and received no reply.

[Demonic240]

Yeah, I seen it on TNN as well, I just couldn't remember the show.

I think it was HorsePower TV, but like I said they did not return my email.

coker tire sells that, its got a little spring and gauge with adapters for different lug patterns..its like 100 dollars I think..totally worthless IMO given the tire calc and wheel calc tools available, and a little high school resoning you can figure it out.-chet

Yeah, I have an Excel file that I generated, that given the width and offset will give be the back and forward spacing of the rim. Just need one measurement on the s13 to see if all is good.
