Cut/widen stock wheels

[jchristena]

With all the SC'd/Turbo/Nitrous cars we have running around, I'm surprised I didn't find more hits on a search.

Anyway, who's the best in the business at widening wheels? I want to keep my stock 20" foundry wheels but I need more tire on the ground. Any need to run any kind of spacer when adding a bit to the wheel?

Also, I found a little bit of information saying that some companies require a second wheel to cut and splice in. I'd prefer not to do that just due to the cost of the wheels, but if that is the best way, then ok.


Thanks

The down fall to having the factory wheels widened is they will weigh a ton.

Yea. I supposed that is a good reason to just go aftermarket.

Buy aftermarket in the sizes and offset you want and put the factory 20's away for safe keeping or sell them if you don't care to keep them.
Not to mention it will probably cost just as much to widen them as buying aftermarket.

I don't know how wide you want to go but American muscle has a replica that is 10" wide for $175ish per wheel. Stick a 305 tire on the wider wheel and you'll gain a nice bit of footprint for not a lot of money. Picture of mine with gunmetal paint option and 275 tire on the rear.

I actually just found that now. Thanks for posting the pic. That's probably the way I'll go.
