Yes but it will take some work.

I haven't used them yet but I have a set of 87 C4 wheels...(16X9.5) bought them off of Ebay (set of 4) for $150. It will cost me $200 to have the front ones split and narrowed to 5.5" to accomodate skinnies. Actually John was the one to tell me to do this...because he will not just sell the front or back wheels to his drag setup (he only sells them in a set...because of liability of people mixing Bias Ply and Steel belts (Radials).

This is just the way I have done it...as the cheapest alternative.
