I got my 17" WS6 rim widened from 9" to 11" from Wheels Amarica in Miami FL. for $450.00 for two but if you send them two extra rims to get the rings or section of rim need to make your rim the width it needs I beleave you can save around $100.00 .If you go to 11" you will need spacers and will haft to modify the bump stop or remove it and haft to do a little modifaction to the enter finder well .When they widen your rims they add it to the rear or add back spaceing to it . A lot of work, but wurth it to me.I had to use 1/2" spacers and longer studs by ARP they are harden studs..I used my factory lug nut and caps .Hope this helped a little.

Yes you can do it. He said the place in florida does it, i know of a place in cali that does it for about the same. I was gonna do this to some ss wheels but the problem was that they could only add to the inside of the wheel, instead of a 51mm offset like the zr1's or 42 or whatever for the verts, you have the offset of an ss/transam wheel plus the two inches added to the inside. Just my 2 cents but i think it would be hell to keep em from rubbin

I want to do the same thing, but widen it to the outside of the rim so there's a lip on it. Here's a pic I found of someone else who did it.

I know this is a really old thread but I don't want to start a new one... Does anyone know who made these deep dish wheels or who can do something like this?

I had Weldcraft widen a set on my Trans Am. It was about $250 a wheel.

MemoryFab in California can also change barrels.

They're talking about welding additional material to widen a cast one piece wheel, not a two or three piece wheel.

oh, I didn't even know that was possible. I wanted to do that for a while now with the OEM wheels.

Wheels America in Texas widened my 2000 WS.6 wheels. They added the material to the inside, and Im running 315/35s on them. I run a 1" spacer, with some BFH mods to the inner fenderwell. Ill be rolling the fenders in the near future, just for added clearance, when there is weight in the back of the car.

As for adding material to the outside, I think it looks good, but I think it would cause clearance problems with the fender.
