I Picked up some ww to use the rears on the front of my c5z for some odd size yoko slicks I picked up.
Worked fine, I know not your specific application but they are strong enough.
I don't know why you would have anyone widen a wheel.
Isn't that trusting an awful lot to the shop that does the work on a wheel that you will trust to over 100 mph?
OEM & aftermarket (race wheels) are tested to stand up to the stresses.
Shops that widen???
2 cents.
