Looks awesome, great idea. I may not have sold mine if I had thought of this option. $200 per wheel ain't so bad when you consider a new set costs about that.

Just to let you guys know, part of the cost to widen some rims is cutting up a doner rim to get that inside lip portion. If your widening some 17" aluminum rims and happen to have a pair of crappy, worn out 17" aluminum rims laying around, you can send those as donors and I think they will reduce the cost about $50 a rim or so. Maybe more. You'll have to ask the rim shop to get the exact price reduction.
You may even be able to buy some front dented rims cheap or for free even and send them to save you some big bucks.
Also, you don't want to use longer studs and spacers over 1/4" or so. If you can do 3/4" of spacing you can have custom adapters made for $40ea. The adapter bolts to the axle and then the rim bolts to it. This way is super strong. You just need to make sure the rim has room on the back side for the original studs to clear. Here's a pic of my rims and they have plenty of space for the studs.
BTW, the new rims look great, Ron. Lot's more attitide, plus they are more flush with the fender lip like the front rims.

My god look at the price on 335s!
No thank you, ill spend my money else were on a pair of MT drag radials that will hook
315 nittos are nice, they are affordable, they last awhile and look good while still letting the car take turns well

im gonna have to do that to my american racing rebels. does anyone know the widest you can go with those wheels in 18's? i love the lip my rebels give and the look just from the back they look a bit skinny so id like to step it up. the car is not lowered and im not planning on lowering it(shitty texas roads around where i live). id love 315's if i could fit them in there with the 18's but if i cant then whatever ill get over it.
