Madman, if you narrowed the rims, how much would you ahve ot take off to clear your rack? This might be an option for the guys that want some of both worlds.

I didn't know this was possible. Who can do it? How much does it cost?
They are 10 spoke silver painted

BTLFEDSS - I've looked into this several times and the skinniest tire I can find is 205/55/17. Tire rack recommends a 5.5"-7" rim.
How wide are your rims and what tire size are you running?

Thanks. I got to thinking I don't want bias plys on the front with Drag Radials on the rear. I'm probably going with 205/55/17.
Besides, a vendor said 5.5" or 6" wide is the skiniest they can make 98-00 WS6 wheels.
Thanks again
