Rustlestiltskin Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 I'm wanting to get my rear set of stock 18's widened from 18x8 to 18x9. Wondering who does this kind of work around here. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboRust Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 complete honest question here but when gtos struggle to fit a 275 on the rears why not just put them on the 8 with a lil bulge? Tinman did a set of his own wheels once and it was a pain in his ass. I dont think he could even put a price on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseyctsv Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 You will probably end up paying more for that than just getting some aftermarket wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I was prolly going to just run em as is and have a lil bulge if nobody was local to widen them. it's either that or I buy an aftermarket wheel set that's staggered with 9.5's in the rear and 8.5's up front.

Rustlestiltskin Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Selling my John Deere riding mower. In excellent shape, well maintained, new battery last fall. Runs excellent. 14.5hp, 38" dual-blade cutting deck. No bagging kit or discharge chute shield. Only damage is to the side deck from scraping pavers, and the plastic surround around the shifter is cracked. Still shifts between R-N-1st just fine. I've had it for a couple of years after buying it from the original owners - I have a Honda self-propelled mower and looking to sell this now that the time is right. CR price is $500. http://imgur.com/yC7PVTVm.jpg http://imgur.com/oIif3CCm.jpg http://imgur.com/6YLRq9vm.jpg http://imgur.com/5l5AKatm.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pontiacfreak142 Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Unless your just doing it for looks, just fit as wide as you can on the stock 18's, then just buy a spare set for drag radials. Traction problem solved lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
