May be 17x6 widen to 17x8, but not 17x6 to 18x8. Why don't you just buy a new wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have about a month turn around time right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheezle Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 A guy named Ron works at The Speed Factory on High street does this. He did his Marchesini wheel to exactly what you are wanting. Here's the number 614-267-7333 Addy is 2864 North High St Col. OH 43215 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybye Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 thats better than having to buy a whole other wheel and then it get cut up R True, but I can also get some nice used 18x11+ SSR's in a better offset for the money I would have wrapped in these. The point of running mustang wheels is because they are dirt cheap and come in some decent size/offsets. I just need wider for the rear to fill my over fenders. Im just checking options before I end up getting extended studs and some fat spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
