The widest they go is 10.5. You can still put a 11inch tire on that. I Plan on buying style 281 theyre my personal favorite. But other than that, a really popular choice is style 280 or 278. I started a thread a while ago about hot LT1 WS6's and there are some great examples in there.

i believe half sizes only come in three and two piece wheels. It makes up for the space it requires when you join the two pieces. Thats what someone told me when i was looking into widening my rims. I requested 12.5 and thats whathe told me. he said since i had only one peice rims that id have to decide between 13 or 12 unless i wanted to pay extra for a hald inch. But i dont know. Any one know anything about this?
