These guys are in Michigan. Weldcraft Wheels Wheel Widening Wheel Repairs Wheel Restoration They did mine when I had my 70 Camaro, went from 18x8 to an 18x15, the wheel with the tape measure across it is mine. When balanced with a 31x18.5x18 tire, one took 1/4 oz, the other took 1/2 oz, they do pretty good work.

OP, What wheels do you want to widen? Is this even safe?

Don't forget, you can widen your wheels, but they won't get wider towards the outside, which is probably why you are wanting to widen them I'm the first place.
In other words, the extra width will go towards the inside of your car. You will still need spacers if you want to make them stick out toward your fenders. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Yeah I got that part covered with a 20 mm spacer in the rear. And I have plenty of room on the inside for an inch and a half of extra rim. Gonna make the car a sleeper.

I had one of my sets of track wheels widened by weldcraft above. Turned 4 rear 350z Track Rays from 8.5 to 9.5" I've powdercoated them twice and they have over 10000 track miles on them with no issues.

But stock sport Rays don't look stock, so don't expect to be super sleeper-y
