I'm the lucky owner of a CTS-V, the worlds hardest car to get aftermarket wheels for. I hear of people getting their wheels widened but part of me just cant stomach cutting a wheel in half then welding it and praying it stands up to abuse. Thoughts?

I had my silverado wheels widened 2.5" and ran 325 drag radials for 3 years, no problems.

Given its done right the weld will never break. the wheel will first

If its done right you wont have any issues. There is couple of people that get their wheels widened ad have 0 issues.

People have been getting their wheels widened for years and never have I ever once heard of anyone having problems.

Get a professional to do it and you should have no problem. I am going to get a set widened, haven't yet. I work in ship repair and am fairly knowledgeable about welding (we do a little bit ). I am not worried about the welds failing. I would be more concerned about shoddy fit up. That is why I say hire a professional.
