    Recommendations for getting steelies widened?

    Just like the title states, I'm looking for some recommendations to get some steelies widened. ...tempted to buy the ones that are listed here on the forum but I have some core 15x4.5 wheels that I think might be less costly to have widened. ...plus I'd like to take them out to 7" R offset for my slab sided '68.

    Thanks in advance,

    Jay

    I've wondered the same, I hear of people doing it all the time but can't find anyone that does it cleanly. Must be a lost art form. I recently bought a set of widened 4.5" to 6" on VW barrels but 7" would be nice for the rears. Good luck on the hunt
