I found some pretty decent looking rims, but they only come in 8 inch wide sizes. http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...inivan&tmn=MG3 They remind me of the CCW wheels I am so fond of, will my 275 - 40 - 17 Nitto drag radials work on that rim?

8.0" ..... +38 to +55 mm .... 225, 235, 245

Looks like a 275 is going to be too wide.

Thats the thing that sucks with picking wheels...seems like you find a wheel you want and the widest they offer is 8-9" wide. So our options are limited...unless you wanna spend $3000 on wheels alone

i'm somewhat in the same situation as you. i found some rims for a really good deal that i couldnt pass on at the time, but they're only 8.5's, so the largest i can go is 255. so im going to be sending the rear rims out to be widened. i'm either going to go 10 or 10.5. not sure where your located, but check this place out, its where im sending mine: http://www.wheelsamerica.com/index.php?page=dallas -they're locations are listed at the top of the page

Hey man thats a pretty good idea, this is such a good deal too. I love the CCW like styling of those wheels and if I widen them I can maintain my pretty much brand new Nittos. Thanks alot for that link!

I heard somewhere a while back that wheelsamerica in Dallas didn't do widening anymore...Could be wrong though. I think the one in Selma, Tx still does though.
