Default C6 Spyder Reproduction - Widening by weldcraft
C6 Chrome Spyders Reproductions from House of Wheels. 4 @18x9.5 2 of which are enroute to Weld Craft to get the 11 inch treatment. Tire selection will be Nitto 555R2 305x35x18 Rear NT05 275x35x18 Front.


Fronts unwidened 18x9.5


Rears weldcraft widened wheels 18x11


Weldcraft had issues with one wheel truing but assure me they will balance. The price you may pay for reproductions.

Hi John,

I see by your profile we have the same year car and color. I just emailed Bob about the spider wheels, are you looking at the c101 chrome spiders?
Thanks
Ron,

Default 11 inch treatment
When you say 11 inch treatment does that imply that you are going to have 11 inch in the back that will have an offset able to fit a stock C6 rear quarter panel?
