The only way to get a deeper dish is to narrow the rearend. Any more than 2.5" you will need offset lca's. You cant run a 16" wide without a minitube and a custom rear that was narrowed about 6" per side. Then you would have a custom suspension because of the lca mounts.

Here is what I have.



I don’t have them on the car yet but they are 17x11 with a 4.5bs the rear is narrowed 3 inches. I was told that I would have to cut out the bump stops to get them to fit. From what I've gathered on here if u narrow the rear any more then 3 and u lose your e break. I have offset LCA but that’s is only because I plan to mini tube it and run a 18x12 with a 345 MT in the future.

I need to find the write up on the offsetting of the LCA's again, but I am thinking the guy only went like 3.5 or 4'' in that write up. IT is good to know that we can run a nasty 16" in the rear though

Thanks for the link! What Fab9 are you going with? I went with a MWC, it looks great, like a piece of art, but the customer service with Mike was less than desirable; just hope and prey that FedEx or UPS (forgot who they used) does not lose your center section (or anything for that matter) like they did mine, because it will take Eric 3+ months to email you any paper work you need to file a claim. I almost had to get my uncle involved, he's a corp litigation attorney, one of the top 10 in the U.S.; nice to have a $2000+ an hour attorney on retainer for FREE

Bro, the wheels I posted are cheap as ****. Take the Center Line Fuel wheel I posted, the 15x15 wheel is $272 @ Jegs. Hell, at that price I would replace them as soon as they get dirty

The Center Line Convo Pros only come 15x10 ( at Jegs ) and you can get them for UNDER $200.

Now your getting a little more in the GREEN with the American Racing & Billet Specialties.

The American Racing TrakStar 480R in a 15x15 (not doubled bead locked) are Mid to High $500. And the Billet Specialties Street Lite 15x15 are Mid $300.

But in the over all big picture, these prices are DIRT CHEAP compared to other wheels. Oh and BTW, the American Racing 480r is a 3 piece wheel & Billet Specialties Street Lite is a 2 piece. How can ya bitch about that

Ahhh, cool... thanks for the clarification. I thought they were the vette wheels since he jokingly called them junk, which I thought it a pun to the "DD vette crap" in the title of the thread

i see what your sayin but instead of spendin all that money to replace wheels if anything should happen to em id rather spend the money else where towards the car other than just wheels and i mean what if something happens later on down the road considering the way the economy is to where you have to sale the car i mean after all the time and money spent just to put them on would more than likely go to waist
