I called both companies that are in the 2 links above.

www.fixrim.com

214-330-9866
4480 Mint Wy
Dallas, TX 75236

$200 per wheel to widen. 1-2 week turnaround. The $200 cost includes them using a donor wheel. All they need is your wheels shipped to them with a note stating how wide you want.

----------------------------------

www.weldcraftwheels.com

734-420-2211
15091 Northville Rd
Plymouth, MI 48170

$125 per wheel if they are steel wheels. $175 per wheel if alum. 7-10 days turnaround.

Ask and you shall receive. I have some recent photos. Rims have never given me any problems and still look great. I'm going to say it's the best cosmetic mod I've done.

I see you switched to the Sumitomo 315s now. Looks like you got them facing the wrong direction, though. Killer C6 too.

correct on both counts. 315's were in short supply for some reason, so I bought Sumitomo. I do like the tread pattern though. Ya, both front and back are on backwards. I'm too lazy to change them around. But now that I've been found out. I'll change them.

Would you ever sell your wheels on the ws6???

That is one bad TA!
You are using a 1" spacer between your rim and hub assembly, right? What would happen if you removed that spacer? Would you have to make any more mods besides hammer the inner fender?
I am thinking about widening my WS6 rims but am going to try to put all the extra tire width to the inside of the rim and not use a spacer. Would they fit if I updated to an adjustable panhard bar, different sub frame connectors?

there is pretty much no way that would fit. You'd have to tub for sure.

Where did you have the spacers made? Can they be purchased anywhere?
