I did a similar thing and simply bolted the bare wheel (no tire) onto the
drive axle while the car was on jack stands.  I then let the engine idle in
top gear and held a sanding block to the wheel.  It turned out much better
than I thought it would considering the amount of road rash that was there
to begin with.
