HOW TO BUILD PROXY TIRES; tire substitutes and why would I want to?
Think of a proxy tire/wheel as a stand in double for a real tire and wheel.
There are several benefits to using proxy tires/wheels.

You can make a cheap stand-in for the movie original tires/wheels out
of wood and mount it on your donor/build vehicle instead of buying the
real tires/wheels for thousands of dollars and then maybe finding out
they are not suitable to your build. The second benefit is that proxy
tires/wheels allow you to fit and build around them. I will be using a
set of proxy tires/wheels on my TUMBLER to set front axle lengths,
wheels/tires, and nose assembly clearances, as I will be substituting
Mickey Thompsons for the Hoosier dirt tires. I will also use Proxy
tires/wheels on my BvS DOJ Batmobile, once I have my donor Dodge Ram
1500 truck stripped down to build around. The third reason to use
proxy tires/wheels instead of the real tires/wheels when building
around the tires is to avoid accidental damage to the real tires. It
does not take much; a grinder/saw/screwdriver/punch/drill/welding
torch/hot metal slip into a tire sidewall could destroy a tire costing
hundreds of dollars. I hope to build a set of proxy tires for my
Tumbler front this weekend and will photograph the process for those
of you who don’t already know how to build proxy tires.

Cut out the wood parts for my Tumbler's front proxy tires. Measuring and cutting took about 2-1/2 hours. Expect to have 3-hours, or so in each proxy tire/wheel before I'm finished. Same process will be used for my DOJ Batmobile's tires. Will assemble them tomorrow. Once assembled I will cover the tread and inside wheel area with cardboard since they are for just for operational clearance measuring and checking. The one's I build for the DOJ will have the tread and inside wheel area covered with sheet metal roof flashing since I will be welding around them. vertigo

Assembled the proxy wheel frames. One big advantage to the proxy wheel is that you are free to experiment with wheel backsets before ordering a custom wheel/tire. You may even find the tire/wheel you were considering was totally useless. A proxy wheel costs 25-30.00 each to build. A small price to experiment with tires/wheels before buying the real tires/wheels which likely would be in the thousands.

Hey waseemo,
“Have you completed the chassis” waseemo?

Welcome to the forum.
Research, engineering, and design were completed late last year,
except for a recent decision to re-construct the front TUMBLER arms
into a movie correct configuration. A rolling chassis is about 60%
finished but have many of the remaining pieces/parts waiting for me to
find enough time to finish their construction, assembly, and
installation. vertigo

Vertigo’s Bat Vehicle building philosophic body of thought:
IF YOU CAN NOT BUILD IN REALITY YOU CAN PREPARE TO BUILD MENTALLY.

PREPARING TO BUILD MENTALLY includes:
Bat Vehicle builds related research
Rational reasoning: Why do I want to build a Bat Vehicle?
Bat Vehicle relevant Intellectual deficit corrections: Studying and
reading about learning to weld, how vehicle chassis are designed and
built, composites history and how to use them, etc…….
Bat Vehicle perceptual awareness; interpreting or become aware of
relevant Bat Vehicle attributes through the senses.
Conceptualization: building and improving a collective vision of your
Bat Vehicle’s possible existence.
Symbolized Realization: Starts when your Bat Vehicle begins a physical
representational existence in the real world, often in the form of
drawings, images, blueprints, on paper or digital files.
BUILDING IN REALITY:
Physical Realization: Your Bat Vehicle begins to take physical form in the physical word.

This is the best and easiest to understand summary on defining philosophy I have found.
So, exactly what is philosophy?
Philip Pecorino
“Philosophy is not a "Way of Life.” Every person does not have his or
her own "Philosophy". Philosophy is not simply a theory about
something. Nor is Philosophy a belief or a wish. Philosophy is an
activity: a quest after wisdom. Philosophy is an activity of thought.
Philosophy is a particular unique type of thought or style of
thinking. Philosophy is not to be confused with its product. What a
philosopher provides is a body of philosophic thought, not a
Philosophy. A philosopher enacts a Philosophy, a quest after wisdom.
Philosophy is a pursuit. Philosophy is an activity of thought, a type
of thinking. Philosophy is critical and comprehensive thought, the
most critical and comprehensive manner of thinking which the human
species has yet devised. This intellectual process includes both an
analytic and synthetic mode of operation. Philosophy as a critical
and comprehensive process of thought involves resolving confusion,
unmasking assumptions, revealing presuppositions, distinguishing
importance, testing positions, correcting distortions, looking for
reasons, examining world-views and questioning conceptual frameworks.
It also includes dispelling ignorance, enriching understanding,
broadening experience, expanding horizons, developing imagination ,
controlling emotion, exploring values, fixing beliefs by rational
inquiry, establishing habits of acting, widening considerations,
synthesizing knowledge and questing for wisdom.

Art remains as a discipline capable of demonstrating, representing and
encouraging values but it is not a discipline of thought, least of
all, one that is characterized by the critical and comprehensive
features of philosophical thought. Today the term "Philosophy" is
often misused. So often in fact, that the term itself has been
corrupted. Most think of Philosophy as a "way of life", "view of the
world", "theory about life", etc... The public has little conscious
appreciation for the philosophic tradition.

So, Philosophy is an activity of thought, which may become a way of
life. It is primarily a pursuit after wisdom. It is a critical and
comprehensive inquiry into the ways in which what we know can be used
to obtain what we value.”

Hey waseemo,

My designed constructed frame and front Tumbler arms are well
illustrated with photo images in my Tumbler build thread. If you are
looking for detailed Tumbler plans contact Shaggy by private message.
He may be able to help you locate what you are looking for. vertigo

Proxy tires for my Tumbler covered in cardboard.
Will give them a few coats of polyurethane.
Next step will be to install the variable adjustment back set inside wheel plate. vertigo
