I currently have some wheels at Weldcraft being widened. Can't wait to get 'em back so I can work on getting them on the car.

I run a 1" adapter, and had to BFH a little on the inner fender, but it depends on the tire. With the 555Rs, i didnt have to massage anything. The 555s are an inch wider.
Look stock from the side:

I wouldnt even try to weld that adapter to the back of the wheel. You would need a LONG *** stud to make it through both the spacer and wheel. I was running the ARPs, but they werent completely neccesary. Fortunatly, on the back of the stock wheels, theres enough recess to clear the ARPs with a 1" adapter.
