Default Widened WS6 wheels.

I shipped them off to Wheels America (Dallas Location) on Monday. They were able to get the job done by Friday. The cost was 200.00 per wheel. (shipping not included). I'm extremely pleased with the quality of work.

u can buy 2 chrome 11' zr1's for 360 shipped. well under the price he payed to widen these. the problem is that they do not sell the wider ws6 wheels so you have to do this.

Yes. Not sure on the back spacing. They added exactly 2" towards the rear section of the wheel.

The only mod to the stock suspension is the removal of the rear spring isolators.

I did the same thing with my 35th Anny wheels... so I could run 315s on the Anniversary wheels. Except I sent mine to Weldcraft Wheels... they were actually about $25 per wheel cheaper if I remember right.
