View Full Version : Wider wheels with a stock look?

Does any vendor make/sell/whatever factory lookalike wheels only wider with offsets different from the factory? Would be perfect for folks that don't want to do serious mods, keep the factory look, and not have to roll/cut fenders or whatever. It would be cool to just be able to order only TWO wheels with 255 or 265 series tires (that somebody else has tested with stock suspension would be guaranteed not to rub without rolling).

Ideally what I'm looking for is to wider rear wheels and tires only while keeping my factory front 18s. I like the way my wheels look, just could use some more rubber out back.

And yeah, I've seen the threads on the guy that had his rear wheels professionally widened+adapters/spacers. That's really cool, but I think I'd buy four new wheels before I'd go to THAT much trouble.

There has been a few that sent thier stock 18" wheels out to get widened.

There is no replica OEM wheels that are wider then the stockers.

That just depends on what kind of look you want. I wanted WS6 wheels on my GTO. I had a pair of those rims narrowed to 8" wide. It was the only way. But, mine didn't require new studs or adapters/spacers.
