10 Spoke Ss

I have done alot of looking for 17x11 10 spoke SS wheels. I do not believe anybody makes them, but maybe i have over looked them somewhere. Have any of you seen any? Thanks

You'd have to have yours widened 2". Nobody in the aftermarket makes them.

if you dont like how they sit in the rear, just get a 1in spacer.

How would I get them widened? It's not that I want them to stick out further, It's just that I think wide tires look great, and i want more traction. Plus everybody is switching wheels so eventually I will have the only SS with factory wheels, which with any mod I want to do to the car I look to see how many people have done it, or what I can do to make it my own.

it would be a waste of money. a one inch spacer would make the rear wheels sit flush with the fender and make your car look much more agressive.

You would have to use a bolt-on adapter.

spacers are scary but you have 4 chances before your wheel fly's off

unless wheels can hold on with one lugnut..

They're safe, as long as you torque them down, then check them again after a few miles, just like you should re-check your wheels.

yup. about a yr ago. a friend and i put some spacers on with some chrome zr1's. I took a trip up to dallas and the rear of my car felt like it was drifting around in the rear. Once i get back from my trip. I take off my wheel and the spacers are loose. I learned my lesson.
