Muncie Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Thread dredge, want to do exactly this widening of my rear alloys inwards only have heaps of room so seems like an effective way if its legal. Any updates? Has anyone done this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can machine the outer off so you're left with just the centers, then bolt to a set of inner and outer barrels. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.craw4d Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Or someone on here a few years back used a plain steel barrel with a mounting ring welded in. Then bolted the alloy center in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got these they're 19x8 the offset is perfect fit at moment in rear sits nice with rear guards heaps of room inboard to widen to 19x10 easily possibly 19x11. They weren't too expensive so wouldn't be heartbroken chopping up, but suit the look im after of just a factory upgraded old man's daily and give me room for the brake upgrades I want to do later.

Bling Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Just sell them and buy equally low key wheels that are the right width? I just don't see any way that would work and be even remotely legal. Probably a cheaper exercise too, even if that is ignored. Should be able to work out the offset you need based on what you have now and the extra inboard width you are wanting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.craw4d Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Yeah the way I explained is quite pricey. You're basically building custom 3 piece wheels, buying the inner and outer barrels separately at the width you want. The last ones I seen were 15 inch and cost around $600 per wheel. That didn't include the bolts to fix together (also pricey) and was using existing 3 piece wheel centers. The wheel pics I posted would at a guess cost around 1k a piece to make. The steel barrel option, last I looked you could only buy up to a 15 inch plain barrel. https://www.cardwells.co.nz/product/steel-wheel-barrel-raw/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Offset im after is not Common looks of things. Considering bmw x5 wheels width is right but offset is a little mexipoke spec and need to roll the guards no that keen on mods to bodywork. Will see what's out there.
