Default Who wideneds wheels?

I'm looking to get the corvette spyder wheels, but want a 18x10.5 or 11 in the rear, but no one makes them that wide in 18s. So who wideneds wheels, how much does it cost? Sorry, I can't search, I'm using my iPhone since this shifty hotel doesn't offer free wi fi

Sent mine friday to (non sponser). Let you know in a few weeks what they look like. I'm adding 3 or 4 inches to my 18x8 coddington's. About 300 a wheel.

$300 per wheel is freakin expensive. but that seems to be the going rate. I also want the Spyders in a 18x10.5 but i cant see paying for the wheels and then an additional 300 to get them widened.

i have been thinking about doin this. so when u widen the wheels, how do u compensate for the offset/backspacing? i know u have to run an adapter, but how do u know which one is right so that the wheels doesnt stick out too much?

ive been thinkin abotu sending out my two rears of my stockers so i can run the 315 Mickeys i have. just going an inch extra wouldn't make me need a spacer would it? i've also thought about narrowing the fronts for 245's or something up front

Wheels are back.


I guess 12 inches is too wide. No worries new LCA's are on the way.



And I think the BFH mod will fix this.

Yeah you'd need a spacer. They add to the inside of the wheel, so if you didn't use a spacer the face of the wheel would sit where it does currently. It wouldn't look aggressive at all.
