Hi blaa the offset is measured from the wheel centre line. The new wheel is offset 40mm from centre but the the old one was already offset 18mm so the difference that you need to make up with a spacer is only 22mm.
When I first fitted the SSSA vfr rear wheel ran 16mm out of line with the front wheel so I needed an 8mm spacer to centre it. Does this help? |

Well allrighty then, I sent Griff an email a week or so ago and asked him about his car wheel conversion. He passed on a few little gems of information, one being how easy it is to remove the studs. I believe he said they were a piece of piss to change. 
Sooooooooooooo, I thought I would have a go.
I thought it might be a bit easier to do the job if I removed the sprocket first and got the chain right out of the way.
They are the little buggers I need to get to 
So after I got the sprocket off the next thing to do was undo that big nut. I dont have a socket that big so used an adjustable wrench.
Behind the nut is a washer that needs to be removed carefully with a flat screw driver. 
Once they are off the hub should pull off. 
With a soft mallet, tap out the hub from the splined side.
I used my Haines manuel, but now all you have to do is follow this, happy days!!!
OK, in my socket set I have a bunch of sockets with 7/8" and 1 1/4" bollocks on them. I dont use them, I dont like them, and I dont fuckin understand them so any chance I get to abuse them, I do just that. Bunch of cunts!!!!
Anyway, I stuck one of the little bastards in my vice and tightend down on the little fucker. 
I then placed my disc hub onto the vice with the wheel stud sat inside the socket. You know whats comming next dont ya!!?? 
A couple of sharp taps and out-ski she come-ski
Now up to now its only taken about half an hour, so not hard at all
And there they all are, including that fuckin bastard cunt of a 7/8" socket, retarded twat!!!!!
Now I have something I can go to my local car spairs shop with and ask for something a bit longer, Ow er Missus!!
Hub is 8mm + 30mm spacer + new wheel, so I'm gonna need something to cope with all that
I'm gonna do it with two spacers, 1 x 20mm and 1 x 10mm, coz I'm not a clever git with a lathe that can make one. When the 20mm spacer arrived it was just a nats cock to small, so I went round the inside with a round back file and took off a very small amount.
Then it popped straight on, and was a nice snug fit.
Well thats just about where I am at the moment, and like lots of the other jobs I have done so far, finding the information "How to do it" was the hardest part. The job so far has taken only about 45 minutes, and its just a reassembley job now. When my 10mm spacer, studs and car wheel all arrive I will continue with the job and as usual bore the crap out of you all with more photos of spanners and stuff.

I just got back from yet another night in the cells.
I’ve been arrested 4 times over the last couple of weeks for knocking around my missus.
The copper asked me last night “Why do you keep beating her” 
I said “Well I would have thought it was obvious mate, for a start I have a considerable weight advantage on her, I’ve got a longer reach, and I can do some really fancy foot work”
Thick Twat!!

Check out David Silver for your barings Buddy http://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/
If you are serious about doing the car wheel conversion on you Blade mate, then I have all the spacers and studs you will need as I got the spacers in pairs and the studs come in a pack of 8. Let me know Bud and we can split the cost right down the middle. |

Still waiting on my wheel studs to arrive so I thought I would spend a bit of time tarting up a few bits and bobs.
Time well spent.
