Are you wanting to transfer your favourite wheels to another vehicle? Dr Wheels can help! With help from specialised equipment, our experienced tradesmen can widen or narrow both alloy and steel wheels to any specifications. Unless you really know what you are doing it is best that you now attempt this on your own. An improper weld could cause the new rim to separate causing serious damage to yourself and your vehicle.
It is also important that you have proper clearance around the wheel well. Do your research and feel free to shop around before you make a decision.
Depending on who you choose they may have different requirements as to what type of rims and what may or may not need to be done to them ahead of time. Also remember, you get what you pay for.
With your new widened rims and tires installed the first thing your going to want to do is take your new ride out. Over inflated tires can rub on the car and cause damage to the tires. Use the recommended psi for your tires as a guide as well as your eyes.
Looking from the rear all of the tread should be on the ground. Looking for anyone with first-hand experiences with wheel widening -- anyone have it done? Have a particular vendor to recommend?? I have a set of SLP ZR-1 style wheels I'm using on my TVR -- they are 17 x 8, 0 offset and fit the car pretty well -- want to have the rears widened to 11 11, because it's 1 more better than I did it once with a set of steel Mopar rally rims.
Next time i'll just chuck up the rim in the lather and turn the weld that hold the center and buy a shell from a wheel place. I've welded my own rims to get my offsets and be right at max width rules for racing it's not that hard infact i'm thinking of starting a side shop to help pay for racing Are the wheels that you want to widen steel, or aluminum?
I'd imagine that it would be harder to find someone to widen aluminum wheels. The wheels are aluminum. I did talk well, email exchange -- this is the 21st century! Seemed reputable from the website -- quick response to me enquiry, no grammar problems. I didn't know Wheels America did widening -- this thread was prompted because I saw their ad in GRM while reading in the , erm, library this morning!
And they're local in Dallas for me, which is a plus. I have used them before to straighten a wheel that the missus un-rounded while on her way to work one day Harley welds a small area at a time and checks the wheel with a dial indicator when finished to be sure the heat didn't distort his precision work.
Now the wheel can be painted or powder coated and is ready to roll down the road. Besides sneaking a slightly larger tire under the rear of late-night race cars, Stockton also fits plenty of Pro Street Rods with "Big 'N' Little" steel rims for a stylish look.
