Re: Atlanta area wheel widening?

I like to run 1" wider in the rear, so I only had a pair done. I had one wheel that had been curbed, so I only wasted one wheel to make this pair. He charged me $75 each to cut 'em on a lathe and weld them up. Now I think I want some 10s for the rear and put these on the front...

Re: Atlanta area wheel widening?

Those do look nice! Thanks for the reply. Is that number the number of the guy who widened them? You added the inch to the outside, right? I was thinking 2 out and 2 in, mini tubbing the bed, and trying to get an N50 under it. I've seen one or two done that way, and it seems to work, but I don't know what kind of heartaches come with it.

Thanks...
