I've read numerous threads about wheel widening and the company that comes up a lot is Weldcraft Wheels out of Plymouth, MI. I'm sure there are others though.

I figured Steve.

He would know where to send them too, there is a place local to us that does it, which he used. He could give you the info.

His car just about dead hooks second gear at nearly 800rwhp, I wouldn't have believed it if I didnt try it myself.

Doug, do you know what kind of tires he is running, and does the car have a widebody kit on it?
