Default Percy Wheelrite

Does anyone know if it will simulate a 12inch wheel? Product says 11+. 11what exatctly? Also, do they supply enough wire that I can simualte a 335/ 30 tire?
I need to order ASAP if it will work.

Percy's Customer service people told me that the sale/tech people were in a meeting a few hours ago. I left a message, they never called and were closed when I called an hour ago.

Trying to get all this stuff done so I can take advantage of the GP store deal on wheels.

Mike Redpath: Do you have any in stock?

Thanks,
Jim

I just looked at mine.. looks like it goes to about 11 1/4 inches. And you would need a longer piece of wire but it's just 16 gauge wire.

Maybe Percy's knows a trick to make it go wider. You could "modify" it to be 12 inches wide.. it doesn't look too tough.
