There were a couple pictures I found when I was searching for info before I sent my wheels out. I remember seeing narrowed SS 10 spokes and a narrowed WS6 wheel. Both were narrowed to 17x4s.

They widened my wheels two inches towards the rear. They did not move the face of the wheel so the mounting pad stayed in the same location. This added two inches of backspacing or added 25mm to the offset moving it even more positive.

There are few wheels you can widen towards the front. That requires cutting the face of the wheel from the barrel and adding material to front of the barrel. This would keep backspacing the same but you would be welding on the front side of the wheel.

Good decision making... Looks Killer.

WeldCraft will be getting a call from me soon for sure.. That 17x11 and skinny front sounds like a good idea.

Those look great on the car!!

Thinking about doing the same to these....
They are the new rally's at Year One 17"



They come in a 9" width.
Would like to have the rears have an additional 2" as well...

Do you currently have those on your car?

isnt 1"= 25.4mm so 2" should add 50.8mm?




also. what was the turnaround time? how did you pay for the shipping back to you? how did you calculate the shipping back to you i mean

Yes 1 inch is 25.4mm. I rounded down.
Offset is measured from the middle of the wheel as opposed to backspacing which is measured from the backside of the wheel. My wheels were widened by two inches on the rear of the barrel. Since offset is measured from the centerline of the wheel you split the difference and the mounting pad only "moved" 1inch or 25.4mm away from it's original position. The adapter is needed because my widened 17x11 have a 75.4mm postive offset or almost 8.5" of backspacing. The one inch adapter moves the wheel outward to sit in the wheel well more like a 17x11 with a 50mm positive offset.

You pay for everything after Weldcraft completes the work. Once the wheels are done they figure shipping back to you and add it to your invoice before you pay. Turnaround time is usally 2-3weeks. My wheels were done in about three weeks not including shipping to and from Weldcraft.

I posted their website earlier in this thread. The site answered a lot of my question when I was deciding if I wanted to go this route.
