Any local trusted shops do this? I’m in the middle of discussion on buying some 17" gto rims with ET Streets on them… they’re 17x8 and I would like them to be 17x9 or 17x9.5 to fit 275/50/17 M&H DR’S after the ET’s. I heard people say you can fit a 275 on a 8" rim but I would rather be more safe with atleast a 9" ---

It’s not a recommended process on cast wheels. ---

Adam cant you just get an aftermarket set of knockoffs that are wider? I know you can get wider than stock wheels for older Mustangs like mine but Im not sure about newer ones. ---

But most of them you cant tell theyre not OEM from what Ive seen, especially if you use the OEM centercaps and all. ---

OEM centercaps rarely fit the knockoff wheels, they use a different size. I’m either going to widen the stock ones, or do a Ccw/TrueForged/Fikse wheel come summer time ---

NVM, while in the middle of talking shipping prices and all that he sold them locally, that blows… I really dont wanna buy 18" DR’s for wheels I put the car in storage with. ---
