Title: Wheel Barreling
Post by: 57rubindub on March 13, 2014, 01:13:08 PM

Anybody have a contact in the lower mainland that can do wheel barreling (widening)?  Ive got to get get my 5x205's widened. Ive seen the guy on the Samba but getting in contact with him is shakey at best... was thinking of Panther but i dont think they do this. Thanks in advance.

I talked to Greens last week and it was 100.0 per wheel to weld your centres to any offset.
