Does anyone know if centerline customa makes wider wheels than normally available???
This guy has 2 17 inch billet saber wheels he wants to sell me. It's almost perfect because I already have 4 17x8 of the same wheels on my car right now, but I need to go much wider on the back. He said they are 17x11 inch. He says he got them to put on a monte carlo and that they fit with spacers.
They also have tires on they which are 275's and if the rims were actually 17 inches wide, wouldn't the sidewalls be pretty angled?? cause they still have a pretty nice bubble to them in the pic.
I checked the centerline web site and they only have a listing for those wheels in 9.5 inches of width like I thought???
Have any of you heard of custom width wheels from centerline???

Alright...
The guy already e-mailed me back and told me that 17x11 is stamped on the wheel and they must have been custom ordered. He also said that the back spacing is 8 inches.
Is there any possible way to use these on a thirdgen??? I will also be getting a different rearend soon if that helps, but I'm not sure which one yet.
I'll need spacers with 8 inches of backspacing right???
edit: the car is not and will not be lowered, if that helps. I also have all the tools necessary to even widen the rear quarterpanels to fit them even ( bodyshop).
What size spacers should I get??? I hear that 6 or even 6.5 inches of back spacing is possible with a few modifications.

what is the profile of those 275's? i was stretching 295/35's on my 18x10.5 z06 wheels.
i'm not sure what size adapters you would need but i have 2 that are close to 2 1/4 for sale. find out the offset, if they would fit let me know.

backspacing.....
The backspacing is 8 inches. Do you have an idea on how thick the spacers whould be??? with a 2 1/4 inch spacer, the offset would be 5 3/4. That sounds pretty good.
I would rather pull the fenders outward a bit than have to bang and modify the inner fender.
How much you want for the pair??? You think they'll work, look good????
Oh yeah....the ad says that the tire profile is 275/40.... they really don't look stretched. 315/35 30 i sounds about right for an 11" rim, on the skinny side, 335's would look good.

yes they are from skulte. but they had to be machined afterwards.
i had to pay 250 for them.
anywhere from 35 to 50 a piece is a good range unless you have to do more machining ontop then expect to pay anywhere from 25-50 more a piece.
