Widening the stock rear 20"s

[nyadk5thgen]

Hey all,

Tried to search it but to no avail. Who has widened their stock rear 20's to accommodate larger tires and where did you get it done?

Would like to have them widened, and put a set of DR's on them for the bast of both worlds. Car is a weekend warrior at best so not to worried about highway miles. They are powder coated though and also wondering if they would need to be re-powdercoated if i had them widened

Any feedback or info as always is appreciated

I found a bunch of threads a while back. I think I just Googled it. If I am not mistaken ADM in Texas does it as well as a handful of other places. My biggest issue with it ws it didn't change the offset so the wheels remain too inboard for my liking. There was also something about using the front or rears since they have a slightly different offset (I think).

Weldcraft or Eric Vaughn Machine. Expect about $250 per wheel plus shipping. 10.5" is as wide as you want to go on the stock rear wheels unless you plan to run spacers. Look at post 5 here.

I was going to do mine a while back but it's too expensive and they will just send you widened front wheels. I guess they have a bunch already widened so you might not even get back your own wheels.

Someone told me they sent in their rear MS 20x9"s and they got back some former front 20x8 MS wheels widened, not the wheels they originally sent. That's a bunch of crap imo. Just be careful.

I could be wrong but I think they recommend widening the fronts for the rears because the offset moves the wheel outbound a little more.

If you widen the fronts, you have to run a spacer.

I have stock rear wheels widened by Vaughn Machine to 10.75" with 315 NT05R's. Fit is perfect without spacers. Still tough to launch at the track and get good 60 foot times.
