weldcraft wheels in michigan, best drag rim custom shop around
cost $240 per rim to cut and weld in any width band you want and the best part is they balanced out better, and had better run out than they did straight from rohana, also they give a structural warranty on the wheel for I believe 3 years garaunteeing their work.

What was the rear size and offset prior to you getting them widened?

Dang. 12.5 with 345s on the rear. I've always wanted a fat setup like that but I'm scared to lose performance. Does it feel heavy and sluggish when your accelerating?

305.30 rear 275.35 front nismo rim (same on sport rims) although 295 and 265 flush the wheel completely and look boss.... No rub dropped on stance coils.

I tried a 295/30 and 265/35 setup and the front tires were too tall (88.5mm vs 92.5mm height).
