You ship'em your wheels, they widen them. I dont think you can buy pre-widened wheels anywhere. I'm gonna have my 10 holes widened out to 10 inches and make skinnies out of another set.

they had a feature in 5.0 magazine a guy was running 18X12 in the back widened, and 18X7 in the front shortened, but had to do some major tweaking to make the back wheels fit.

you are correct, it was a yellow notch and he stated that the car still did not ride very streetable after all the fabrication he had to do to the rear.

That was on a fox car though, so an SN95 may have more room back there BUT 12 inches

look around on google, yahoo, etc, and look in your local listings, MAybe if a local welding company wont do it, then one they know will. A source may not pop up so you might have to search for it. Just keep looking.

Yea i have the magazine article right in front of me, he says "It hooks well, and handles pretty well too" They used half of a 4 link rear suspension for the lower control arms, and than the stock uppers. It looks sweet, but its hella expensive. As for a company that does wheel widening, here is one http://www.stocktonwheel.com/wheel_widening.htm

how hard is it to mini tub the rear, i am soon going to have to do in on my 89 to mount some big rear slicks, but was unsure of how hard it really is to mini tub. Chances are i am just going to go get it done, since i need to narrow the rear, and do all that.
