Sigh, big tires on small rims. I'm about to put a 305 on an 11" rim. Could I go wider, sure, would it be worth it, probably not. A 325 is the biggest tire I would stuff on there.

The wheels I listed will run you around 2800 for a pair if not more. If you're just using them for drag wheels, send out a set of oem wheels to get widened and run a spacer.

I don't know if I would trust a set of ROTA's for track application LOL. I wouldn't trust them on the street either.

Unfortunately to get the clearance needed you'll have to run custom offsets which will lead you down the path of huge money. You're not going to be able to find your run of the mill cast wheels in a 12" wide.

Well I have a 325 on a 10.5, that's only half an inch less (that's what she said)

Widening wheels?? That's crazy, it's cutting the wheel in half and welding in a piece of aluminum in between. This is highly unsafe and not recommended for anything other than show cars that don't actually move.

I'd definitely trust Rotas way way more than widened wheels hahaha
