I have a set of almost new, white, American Racing wagon wheels, 15" with 5
on 5 bolt pattern, 75$. They come with valve stems too, I think! :-) Also, I
know nothing about alignment, but can you do it with the tire off the wheel?
or what about the spare tire?

Subject: DML: Alignment help (attn: Bernd)

I've got a pair of 15x8 American Eagle 6 spoke rims(767's maybe, can't
remember, same as Bernd's I think). In any case, here's the dilemma...
Had TM 4" lift put on...new rims required(backspace issue)...put BFG AT KO
32x11.50s on above mentioned rims and now can't find anyone to do the
alignment. The heads on most shop's alignment tool can't seat on the rim
b/c the rim has no lip(sits flush w/ tire). The new BFGs have a rim guard
on em that makes it impossible to seat the heads where the tire meets the
rim. So I guess my questions are: Bernd did you experience this? Does
anyone know of some cheap wagon wheels I can mount just for the alignment
and use as winter wheels? I've heard that 18 wheeler repair shops could do
the alignment, but I've had no luck so far. Think this is true?
Anyway, thx for reading.
