Hey guys, finally got my rims all done up =). They are the stock rims with the front widened to 10.5" and the rear 9" put in the front on the car. They are powdercoated satin black and painted red. Wrapped on them are 315 Nitto Nt05's in the rear and 275 Nitto Nt05's in the front. They fit absolutely purrfffeeccctt. Right to the edge of the quarter panel and not sticking out. Handles much better with the wider tires on it. Sorry for the crappy pics they are from my phone.
Lemme know what you think!, drop springs on on their way...=)

Very Cool!!! How did you get them widened????

huggerorangss · 01-02-2010, 11:24 AM

Weldcraft wheels in Plymouth, MI. Took them a week from when I dropped them off. Very impressed with their work, it was perfect no questions asked and they balanced perfect as well.

Sexy!!! what size spacer in the rear?

LittleRockCGM · 01-02-2010, 12:59 PM

Looks great - I have ADM widening a set for me right now!

newgenss · 01-02-2010, 01:43 PM

how much for just the widening of rims? looks bad ass!

full of days · 01-02-2010, 01:53 PM

so what tyre sizes are you running with this 10.5 rear and 9.5 front setup?

55Designs · 01-02-2010, 02:02 PM

Looks sweet so far make sure you take some better photos during the day.

I really like those Nitto Tires they look so much nicer than the PZeros by a long shot.

For any money spent toward the cost of widening the stock wheels, I would almost be tempted to invest in a set of Forgelines and sell my stock 20 inch truck wheels

Hugger, Why did you go this route?

mtm864 · 01-02-2010, 02:50 PM

interested in cost to widen the stock wheels...

55Designs · 01-02-2010, 03:26 PM

Widening cost around $300-$350 per wheel

Shipping back and forth around $60 each wheel

Spacers around $125-$150 depends on source

Wider Tires it depends if you want to keep the Pzeros and get thre 305 out back they run $450 per tire.

granted this is an expensive route to go when its all factored in. I am on the fence of doing it for now until I figure out what direction I am going with custom 3 piece wheels.

Powdercoating around $400+ for the complete set.

All good points but I feel like these are rare enough that I could drive on them awhile and sell them and not lose much money. This is my plan until I find a 3 piece wheel that I truly love. I think there will be a bunch of wheels coming out for the car in the next 6 months.

or until a wheel splits down the welds while doi ng a WOT run :-D

DocHolliday · 01-02-2010, 04:21 PM

At the risk of sounding like a newbie...OK I am a newbie. What are 3 piece wheels? Also, what is the chance of the widened wheel coming apart at the seems? I love the factory look, but would also like to run 315's.
