hey charlie,

Do you know how much width i can add to the stock 19s.

I know our 19s are 8". I am thinking about add 1 to 2" to the rear so I can put fatter tires on the back.

what do you think (I know I can probably get nice aftermarket wheels for good price, but i really like stocker looks). Is it going to be strong enough?

Thanks,

Li

If you add 1.5 you should be fine. Take some pics as others are interested as well.

How much does something like that run, and can they add a lip to the side that faces out? I love my 18"s, but they'd look really cool with a lip.

All the adding is done to the center of the wheel.

It's about $200 a wheel depending on the shop and if they have to provide the loop or not. Aftermarket wheel widening will increase the backspace of the wheel obviously.
