maybe that will help reduce the gap of tire and rim.

That's what I might try to do (if I buy some pizza pans).
Since the center of my rim sticks out about 1/4 inch.
That center area is where I would need to drill my mounting holes
and a flat disc would be floating about 1/4" above the outside edge of the rim.
So, if I could get the rolled edge of the pan to just kiss the rubber a bit,
I think that might be the perfect solution for my wheel..



What do you guys think about leaving the tape under the pizza pan?
Would it help?
The only problem I can think of, is loose tape balling up on one side
and making the wheel off-balance..
