Wider stock rims


Recommended Posts

I really like my stock rims, and decided that one day, I'll find a nice set of these and have them professionally widened. something like 1 inch inside and out on the fronts to bring them to 8inches, and 2 inches outside, 1 inch inside on the rear, bringing them to 9 inches. It can be done, but it's quite costly. Basically it would cost as much as it would to get a pretty nice set of rims.

I was curious to see what they would look like if they were wider so I did a crappy photoshop to a picture I had. they look really nice actually.

but of course, this wouldn't happen for quite a long time haha. not till it has a good running engine, coil over's, and money for new tires and the widening job.

too bad it would probably cost anywhere from 300+ per rim.

Check out Wheel Works custom made wheels. I'm thinking of widening my snowflakes two inches for the rears and narrowing my fronts. Only thing is that I think they can just widen them from the back and set your offset from the hub(welding on a spacer). 800 buks for all four. Call Tim Smith (609)387-4488 he's here in Jersey.

there's a company in michigan that will do the outside of aluminium rims, but it costs a little more to finish the welds smooth.

the place is called Weldcraft Wheels

from the looks of their pictures, they do a really nice job.
