HOGIE Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 They did it to Project Binky so anyone can do it, right? 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Easier and definitely safer to buy rims the right size. 1 Quote Link to comment
Colbino Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 The process is known as "banding." You should have better luck with your searches now. Stockton wheel supposedly does it well but they're not in la la land. 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 If this is adding a cylindrical spacer to widen the rim it will go either positive or negative but not both. Make sure you do some measuring first so the rim/tire doesn't rub the suspension or the fender. 1 Quote Link to comment
willz Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 I've had a set "widened" and I've had a set made. Basically they take a new barrel and a new face with whatever bolt pattern you want and weld them to whatever back spacing you want on whatever size barrel you want. Wasn't cheap though. It's a pretty common wheel for VW guys 1 Quote Link to comment
