Will my rims fit after theyre widened 1"? hey guys i currently have c6 z06 wheels and the rears need to be wider. Im gonna get them widened 1" at WeldCraft but im wondering if they will fit. I know ill need to run a spacer but what size and i dont want the tires to come past the fender at all. Preferebly set in just a tad so the tires dont hit the top of the fender under load even with the lips rolled. offset on my rims are 50mm
1. Will this work?
2. What size spacer?
3. BFH mod like crazy?

Do a little math . . .
But with out knowing the width of your wheel can't figure it out . . .
Formulas to fill in:
Wheel width (WW) +1" = X
X / 2 = New Center Line of Wheel. (NCL)
NCL - (WW/2) = Difference in Center Lines. (DCL)
Take DCL and convert to MM = DCL * 25.4 MM = DCL in MM.
Add old offset and DCL in MM and now you have your new offset.
From there the spacer size can be calculated, using info from the sticky at top of forum.
Confused Yet???
Oh and typing all that I see the size in your sig
. . . fill in the blanks!

Do a little math . . .
9.5 +1" = 10.5"
New Wheel Center Line 10.5" / 2 = 5.25"
Old Wheel Center Line 9.5" / 2 = 4.75"
5.25 - 4.75 = 0.5"
Convert to MM = 0.5" * 25.4 MM = 12.7 MM.
50 MM + 12.7 MM and your new offset is 62.7 MM.
From the sticky a 10.5" wheel is recommended to have a 38 MM to 50 MM offset. . . . . So . . . a spacer anywhere between 24.7 MM to 12.7 MM could work. . . .

The sized spacer to run is really up to you, if you want the wheel slightly tucked in, run a smaller spacer. If you want the wheel and tire closer to flush, run a bigger spacer.
All of my recommendations keep the wheel and tire within the wheel well, I.E. never sticking out (hate that look) . . .
If I were in your shoes I'd most likely shoot for a 7/8" (22 mm) to a 3/4" (19 mm) spacer/adapter. That should put the tire in just far enough to not need rolling and far enough out to not need BFH. . . .
