Question widening my SS 10 spokes...

ive been thinking about widening my stock SS 10 spokes in the rear just because you never really see them done like that and i wanna be different...

* i was wondering whats the widest i could make them without having fender problems?

* also will they stick out of the fender wells or anything?


thanks

When they widen rims they add backspace to the rims. You would have to run some thick spacers to get 2" more backspace to fit an F-body or mod the wheel wells quite a bit to make them work.

check this link to see some pics how he made his widened stockers to fit.

just get a one inch spacer so they will sit flush with the fenders.
