Wheel widening question.

keithstang · Oct 13, 2010

I have Chome Saleens and a PHB/TA set up on my 94gt. I want to send my rear rims sent off to wheel index for widening. How wide can I go in the rear without any issues. The quad shocks are removed just as a reminder. Thanks for the info. :icon_salut:

Well, you didn't specify whether they were 17s or 18s, but I would say without modifications 11inches wide (giggity) is about the most you're getting.
Widening wheels is a little pricy, it may be more cost efficient to sell 2 of yours and buy 18x10.5s that OE Wheels sell. I've had that size rears on my car for over 2 years and they have held up well.

Theres a guy running 13inch wide fr500s on a new edge...I wouldnt think there would be too much difference.

If my memory serves its like a couple hundred per wheel to widen them. I'd just buy a wider set.

They are 18's. Sorry about the lack of info. They are also original Saleen rims. Saleen is embossed next to the valve stem. I bought them off of a buddy who got himself into some legals problems. So I picked them up for a screamin deal. Wheel Index has a good reputation and sense I don't have alot of money into them, then an estimated $400 to widen both is worth it to me. With them being 18's is 11" the max? Thanks for the input.
