changing width of 3 peice rims


Recommended Posts

i'm wanting to get some 3 peice rims in the same sort of size toecutter just did (17", 8.5 inch -6 for the front and 9.5 inch -19 on the back)

 

i like the rs8 style watanbes like http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k30054025 but finding some in that offset and width is going to an issue, so i'm wondering what the deal would be with changing the width of them.

 

as they are (17 X 7 +38 and 17 X 8 +38) and from reading up on offset and backspacing and doing some searches, i'm guessing if i got the front section of these wheels widened by 1.5"'s the offset would go to around +19 as its a measurement from the centre of the wheel and as 1.5" is about 38mm...is this correct thinking? i'm guessing you can also get the inside width changed? but after paying for all that i guess i may as wheel just go and find some i like and get them made, such as whl_simmons_alta-17_400.jpg with a black centre
