I have a set of steelies that I want to make wider to fit a 8inch wide tire....Does anyone know about a company that will widen a rim

I have a set of lenso wheels with 23inch slicks on already just want a set of wheels to put a huge street tire on

 

maybe look at Diamond racing wheels

Get in touch with some of the VW guys, they're all about widening steelies, etc.

I was just going to say that. I have seen it done but only when i used to be into the VW scene.

Take a look at http://www.vwvortex.com
It is a forum website just like HT. I am sure you will find your answer there

edit: probably best to look in the the golf/gti/jetta forums. mk2-4

 

yup lots of guys there love wide steelies - ghetto ballar style

just do a quick search and you should get tons of results.

Will do thanks guys.....

 

stockton wheels in cali will widen them. or buy new from diamond steel wheel. for cost of getting oem's widened, you can buy new.

last resort, find a vw show queen selling some wheels w/ stretched to hell and back tires, replace tires, go race. vw wheel will fit honda, but honda wont fit vw. centerbore are to small to put honda rims on vw.

 

if you guys have any dirt racing guys in your area, they can most likely also widen wheels for you, or know someone that can... these guys love to bend wheels....

 

as posted, Diamond Racing wheels sells stuff pretty cheap.
