Prepping Centers for 3 piece conversion, question about milling the shelf on centers
Question most wheel centers have a shelf where the lip and barrels flanges sit on then bolts hold them together.
The centers I am using are from a 2 -piece wheel. It is a BMW style 42 or BBS rs740 centers. I believe the centers have a 5mm shelf at the top where the barrel was placed on then bolted together. I was told that the flanges on barrels and lips are about 5mm thick. The centers are top mounted so lips and barrels would be mounted behind the centers. So I assume the lip flange will rest on the shelf but the barrel will not be able to rest on the shelf since the shelf is not deep enough.
Is there any issues? I assume both lip and barrel flanges have to sit on the shelf to handle the forces and loads on the wheel? How would I mount the Lips and Barrel flanges?
