WIDE FIVE RIM SAVER TIRE CHANGING ADAPTER FOR WIDE FIVE WHEELS; SMOOTH STUDS FOR HIGH VOLUME TIRE CHANGING
THIS RIGID TOOL ADAPTS WIDE FIVE STYLE WHEELS TO STANDARD TIRE CHANGERS FOR INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF THE TIRE TO THE WHEEL WHILE MINIMIZING THE LIKELIHOOD OF THE WHEEL CENTER BENDING.
ALTHOUGH STANDARD 3 PRONG ADAPTERS HAVE BEEN USED FOR YEARS, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT DURING THE DISMOUNTING PROCESS THE ADAPTER AND WHEEL FLEXED SUBSTANTIALLY FROM THE LOAD OF DISMOUNTING THE TIRE, THUS POTENTIALLY DEFORMING THE WHEEL CENTER. THIS LEADS TO OTHER PROBLEMS SUCH AS HUB BREAKAGE, LUG NUTS LOOSENING AND EXTRA WHEEL RUN-OUT.
THE WIDE FIVE RIM SAVER IS MACHINED FROM STRONG 1" THICK, 6061 T-6 BILLET ALUMINUM AND MAY BE BOLTED TO THE WHEEL CENTER OR DROPPED INTO THE WHEEL, SAME AS CONVENTIONAL ADAPTERS. FIVE PRONGS DISTRIBUTE THE LOAD COMPLETELY AROUND THE WHEEL CENTER. UNIQUE SHAPE DESIGNED WITH FEA SOFTWARE ALLOWS THE RIM SAVER TO REMAIN LIGHTWEIGHT WHILE EXTREMELY RIGID.
