Widening My Wheels??

Is it possible to take my stock SS wheels and have the rears made 11" wide, and what tires would i need then?
What kind of cost would I be looking at if I can do it?

Question

Wouldn't it just be cheaper to sell your two stock SS rims, and buy a pair of 11" wide ones?

Widening stock 17" rims

And like snorkelface said, it would probably be cheaper to just buy some 11"ers outright and sell your stockers.

I'd have to sell all 4 and buy new, cause I dont think they make 11" wide SS wheels do they?
how wide at teh C5 wheels? the 18" rears and 17" fronts???
and how much should I get for my SS wheels?


caspergotaz28 thanks for the link, I knew I saw something like that somewhere befor.

They definitely do sell them. Probably 98% of the people on this board who have 11" SS wheels got them by purchasing, not widening your wheels. Also, you won't need to run any wheel spacers when you buy them, because the come with the correct offset already. Check out a lot of the sponsers on this board. A lot of them carry them.
