you can use a 6" or 8" grinder then use a DA to finish them. my buddy has done dozens like this. be prepared its messy.

How does he do this with a grinder? Does he use a spin balancer when he does this?[]

No he does them on the ground. He usually takes the tire off the rim. If the tire has raised white letters you have to grind the letters down, then just grind till you get to the edge of the white and go right around the tire. It take a while and is pretty messy but it works. I have "sport truck t/a's" on my p.u. and they have at least a 3" whitewall.

Sounds like too much work when you can buy wide whites from Coker Tire.

Grinding is a bad word, this leads to think that the side wall is being chopped away.... Really the only thing that is happening is the side wall is being buffed.. The factory black rubber over the top of a smaller whitewall or white lettering is being removed. This is alot thicker than it has to be give the apparence . You can do this to black tires also. The machine is placed under the tire. Left on the car and rim, the buffing equiptment is placed against the sidewall of the tire , while the machine rotates the tire the buffer cleans the surface area that is going to be coloured, a propper designed rubber paint is then placed on the rotating tire so a evenly placed line, as thin or as thick as you want around the sidewall. This procedure is excellent for the retro muscle cars that want large diametre tires but the classic look of white, red, gold etc line tires for their ride.
