I did call Lenny and he was very nice and spent quite a bit of time with me. In short he explained that swapping sides is a bad idea mainly because each rim has the inside concaved shaped and of course this along with the tapered nuts (or bolts) is an important design that serves to put tension between the rim and the hub. (Lenny, jump in here if I got this wrong). He said to not accomplish this with a new design would likely cause the set to slowly work loose and of course end in failure if not caught early.
I also remeasured the offset. Just for the sake of the discussion, if I did swap them side to side, I would only gain 2.5" per side. Not as much as I had originally thought.
So.....the idea is on hold for now.
professional extensions seem to run about $500 a set.
Thanks guys for a great discussion. I am learning and I know others that read these threads will learn too.
