Widening OEM PP Wheels (19x11)

[Mattwood440]

Any pictures of the wheels only?!

Can't wait to see the results!

Yes. They arrived yesterday. One little problem though that I should have known, but whatever. Weldcraft does not refinish the area they grind the paint off and weld. So after work today I'm going to get some self-etching primer and gloss black wheel paint and get started cleaning them for painting.

Let me make clear that the only part I'm painting is the inner rear half of the wheel which would be hard to see anyway if it wasn't shiny bare metal on a black wheel. I'm also going to hit the outer part too which will be inside the tire and invisible, for anti-corrosion purposes only. Most wheel makers will have overspray on this area and not much else.

Not a big deal because I DID order spacers that I think MIGHT work but I don't want to say what they are yet since I haven't tried them. Anyway, the spacers are bare aluminium and I wanted to paint the outer diameter of those black too. Now I'll be able to use the extra paint. Win win.

Pictures of the unpainted wheel coming tonight.

You will need to have them change the offset of the wheel or have wheel spacers out back I believe

Did they adjust the offset that is important.

Pictures of unfinished rims are more than acceptable because anyone else thinking of doing this should know what they are getting into.

That is correct. Spacers. Like I said, I ordered them. They arrived today.

I don't know of any way they could. Spacers are the only way I know of to decrease offset.

All they do is add the material to the barrel. The end user is responsible to space them as necessary. If it were me I'd just add a pair of 1" bolt on spacers.

I went the other route and purchased 19x10 replicas from AmericanMuscle and mounted 305 drag radials on them.

Tire. Nitto NT05 305/35ZR19. Color me surprised but the spacers were already black. Sweet.
