Anyone ever change there own backspacing

[LS1NOVA]

This is a steel rally wheel. I am considering cutting those welds and adjusting the backspacing. I could realign it on our Hunter tire balancer and then weld it all the way around with a nice Mig bead. Its not rocket science, anyone ever do it? This would make some 325/50r15s MT radials fit on my Nova for the strip.

You have to figure in the cost. You time is worth money. Is it more expensive to spend 6 hours redoing them or buying a new set? And I always just run spacers if I need to change the BS.

Well Im on a tight budget and a new set would be custom built. I need more backspacing, so no spacers.

the center piece is pressed in Very tight!

I can be done, but it will be a huge PITA

Getting it square so there's no run-out would be the big concern, but since you have access to a Hunter machine, you can check it. As Travis said, the center is extremely tight, you'll need a good press to get it to move once you grind all the welds out.
