WIDENING THE STOCK WHEELS
Does anyone know some place in Central Texas where I can get my OEM wheels widened? If there's nobody around here who can do it, can someone recommend a shop in the DFW area? Any input is very much appreciated.
I've posted this same thread on the regional forum, but I thought some of you guys outside the state might be able to help as well.

Wheels America in DFW has done it, but I don't know anyone personally who has used them. Most either go with Weldcraft Wheels, or Vaughn Machine.

I believe Weldcraft charges $200/per wheel, and they reccomend no more than 1 1/2" for oem wheels.
That may have changed in the last couple years though. |

There is a thread on here about this somewhere. I want to do this as well. Guess I just need to find time to call vaughn and see what all I need to do.

Some have stock wheels widened to 10.5'' without needing a spacer. I have mine widened to 11'' and use a 20mm spacer.

It looks like Wheels America in Dallas is going to be the best bet. They want $250 a wheel, and since they're a few hours away, I can deliver them and pick them up without any shipping charges.

Yep, that way you can just switch the front wheels to the rear. 9'' fronts and 10.5'' rears.
