Widen current wheels, or buy new....
Hey, well i've been throwing up the idea for a while now and with the new power under the hood this year, i need some wider meats out back. I really like my current wheels (18x8 Privat Fahrens) but they arent wide enough. So i was thinking of 2 options, widen them and throw on bigger meats and get some of the rash cleaned up on 2 of the wheels, or sell them and put extra toward some new rims. So post up what you think. Widening mine and getting new tires would be the cheaper route.... I am not settling for anything less than the BFG 315/30/18 DR so i'll need to widen mine out 2.5" to a 10.5 for that. The other thing is the offset, here is how the wheels/tires sit currently, think adding the 2.5" with a 315 will fit with some good BFH'ing? or will they be too far in? They seem to sit in about the same spot as people with 18x10.5 z06 rims so it might be alright. Give your input there. If you feel i should ditch the wheels all together, post up a nice, unique alternative that must be 18" and AT LEAST 10.5" wide in rear. Thanks! here are some pics!

Well thanks to NavyMitch12, we calculated out the offset to be ~52mm after widening 2.5" to the 10.5". So this actually puts me in better shape than a Z06 wheel at its 58mm offset! So it should work with some BFH'ing!
