Tyler02ws6 gave me this info when I had a thread of the new rims I got and the fact I wanted them widened. He said he shipped to Miami via ups and the cost to widen from 9.5 to 11 was 200 per rim. Here there locations.

The cheapest I've seen them for is 769.00 and I kind of don't like them. Too much a of a stock look. I like the Z06 and 2000 C5's and the cheapest I've seen them is 1200.00 for 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the back and occasionally 9.5 in the front and 10.5 in the back. And this is without wheels, lugs, and locks. My wheels were 185 a pop so that is 740, so plus 400 puts me at 1140 for the look I want. I do feel it's a bit extra, but if they let me get the rears to 11 inches...IMAGINE HOW IT WOULD LOOK. More of a muscle car look from the back with a profile of a sports car. I am going to try to see if they will do it for a little cheaper. Every bit counts. The place is actually 11 miles away from me. I figure I go in and see if they wanna sponsor me since I've started going to all the hang out spots for muscle cars, import cars, and pure sports cars. I've already got a body shop down to sponsor me and my friend and that is partially because of the look my car has with the wheels and the fact that my friends Mustang has a lot of work done to it.....it also helps that my good friend for 15 years and my twin works for progressive auto insurance and that body shop is one of there stations. I can't wait for the paint job......Moonduster. It's a grey mettalic. MAN you should see what they did to a Camino with the same paint job. It was HOT!.

Which rims do you have that you are having widened? I have thought about it with my WS6 rims, the problem is the widening is front to back so if you look at WS6.com he had to move some stuff to get them to fit. I've wondered if it would be possible to go with 17 X 10 or 10.5 then put a 315 DR on the back if there would be any fitment problems? Let us know the Details of what you are doing and how it works out!!
