MexicanBatman G666E Turbo!!! Member 1,008 Member For: 14y 3m Gender: Male Posted 03/02/12 03:45 PM Share Posted 03/02/12 03:45 PM I've decided on my new wheelsWidened stockies with spacersWill look stock but a bit more flush and will have 275 rears.... Stock appearance ish... I just can't decide on aftermarket wheels, and I don't want an aftermarket lookIt's not cheap to widen the wheels $250ea + donor wheel, but it will be worth it, especially if I can squeeze a 285 invo on to it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll need to make the offset wider...?First, they work out where you want the rim to sit. Then, the required material from the donor rim (inner) is calculated and the rim machined. At the same time, the required spacer (that will be welded to the boss) is determined. From there, cut 'n shut. Both of these create the desired offset and width. These guys have been doing this for years. Not cheap, but if you want something truly unique and 'stealthy', it provides a great option. I did look into it for my FG snowflakes (to create 9.5" rears) but 18" rims have clearance issues on the lower suspension unless you run 'open wheeler' offsets. 19" and bigger - no problem. http://billeauengineering.com.au/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
