Yes there is a company that widens wheels and I know a few members here have done it. I am actually looking for a very clean set of 10 spokes so I can widen and chrome...

Weldcraft in Michigan, about $200.00 a wheel, not cheap but top quality work. Here are mine. I would recommend going 10.5 not 11" the 1/2 inch makes a huge diff when you are fitting them, I used a 1/2" spacer and had no clearance problems, the 10.5" rim is within the nitto NT-05 rim spec's for 315/35/17.

Default That would be cool...

Yet for the price, get some Vette rims...
I wanted to powder coat my 02 SS rims, yet not cheap enough!

PM me... mine might be up for sale soon, NO room in the garage...
I have a winter beater, so do not need 2 sets of rims!

Robert

PS: only one small road rash on one rim, (very small .375 in or small) tires would/could come for almost free... included! There pretty good BF Gforces.

Have a friend who send a set of chrome 10 spokes to them they made them 11" and the chrome came back with out a mark on them, so they can do chrome wheels, would save a lot of $ having to get them chromed after. I will try to get a pic up with the NT-05's mounted up and on the car. I got two sets of wheels and only use the NT-05's for track days or when I am in a ugly mood . So don't have then on right now.

i always heard that widening a wheel made it weaker. but that company knows more than i do and they wouldn't risk something like that. it does look good, always been a fan of the wheel. i had a set that was semigloss black, but got rid of them.

I've always wondered about getting the rears widened, and the front narrowed. Making big and littles out of ten spokes, would look good i think
