Title: Stock Rear Wheel Rims
Post by: Needles on May 01, 2004, 08:47:26 PM

Was out at UBC today, saw a pristine 55 Chevy Nomad with stock rims, except for the rears S L I G H T L Y widened...

Ive got a 72 Bay, gonna be slammed soon...

I wanted to keep the stock wheel look, but wanted to tuck some 'meats' up under the rear wheel wells...

1. What would the maximum width allowance be?
2. Anyone local/Coquitlam willing to modify them?


Thanks for your time!!
 :D

B) There is  a shop in Surry I've delt with alot for ICBC repair claims, not to sure if they'll widden wheels as well I've delt with them mostly for  mag wheel repairs and are good to deal with. Nu-brite 604 888 3630 its worth a try.  I hope it helps
