How to widen a rim

[lilj4u2njoy]

I picked up a set of split spoke gt wheels tonight for 100 bones and I'm curious about widening the two rears to 17x10 instead of x8, is it expensive? Where do u send them too... Any info would be cool thanks

There is a place locally here in Ohio it's about 125 a rim but I had a set done in 17x12 on an old setup of fr500's long ago.. I'll try to find the pics..

I think for a set of rims you really like it'd be worth it.. especially on split spokes.. especially $100 ones.

Yea i couldn't believe it when I seen it on Craigslist, they are my fav gt wheels

you're looking at 200 per inch to add material. so thats 800 plus the shipping cost if there isnt one close to you.
just being realistic as i wanted to do the same thing to my rk's and bump them out to 18x12s

Damn, that's pretty pricey for some 100$ wheels

yah if there was anywhere that did it cheaper i'd be entertaining the thought more but i've always heard to only trust weldcraft because they guarantee that the wheels will balance out when they're done working on them

 

[lilj4u2njoy]

Yea I mean if its gonna be done might as well be done right the first time

+1 You'd have to really like those wheels, like a lot.

I mean I like em and I want to run some 315s in the rear and I hate my 19's on my car now cause tires are stupid expensive... Idk imma have to check into it more

 

[Slykin]

Your car is so sexy though.... and I hate big wheels.

 

[lilj4u2njoy]

To be honest I don't like big wheels but they fell in my lap for like 200 bucks from a crack head who needed a fix I guess...

 

[OnyxCobra]

there is some middle ground between the 19s you have and 17" stockers...

 

[Slykin]

I meant I love your car with big wheels, even though normally I hate big wheels.

I got a nasty rub up front that I have no clue what to do about besides maybe a spacer or something

I emailed weldcraft about doing my Camaro rims either an inch or inch and a half to the inside, it was about $200 per wheel, plus shipping both ways. Those GT wheels you picked up would have to be ABSOLUTELY MINT to even bother considering spending that much coin on them.

I love my split spokes too though, I'd LOVE to widen them to 9 or 10 inches.

Well they aren't mint, but i plan to do some work to em to make em look new again... But i just don't know what to do about ny 19s to get away from the rub in the front, and the tires are rediculas so i thought if I widen the back wheels of the split spokes I would prolly just keep em on forever
