AJ_Herald1360 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hi when banding wheels do you band the front or back of the wheel to get deep dish and also how wide can the wheels be banded on the car? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Herald1360 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 that is with standard steel wheels on herald 13/60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
307e Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Try these - www.bandedsteels.com - good feedback on the VW T4 forums and Ford sites. They will make any size you want, but seeing as the dish usually goes outward the Herald arches are somewhat restrictive and that could be your limiting factor. On the other hand , the genuine article 5.5J Dunlops look beautiful but can be costly and often the rims are bent.HTH,Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpeedy Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I believe that 6.5" with 175 tyres is as wide as you'll get under standard arches.The normal is to band the front to increase 'dish' but I'm done some reverse banded wheels before to increase tyre size whilst staying inside the original arches for a Rover P6I personally have 8" on the rear of my Vitesse, but had to 'lose' the rear arches completely!If you're interetsed, I've done many sets now, and can supply photos of previous jobs. I'm also a fair bit cheaper than ^^that lot^^ up there ;)(I am actually an engineer by trade with full workshop/machining facilities) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepy Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 It has been talked about before on here, they look really nice on the herald and spit when banded. :)[Sorry, link no longer available][Sorry, link no longer available]Some nice work there.
