track pack 19” wheels widened

Has anyone with the factory 2010 track pack 19” wheels looked into having their wheels widened in the back? Looks like they start at 1” and go in ½” increments after that. http://www.weldcraftwheels.com/index-1.html. I know it has been done with other smaller diameter wheels on the 09 and under but I haven’t seen it on a 2010+.

Thanks,
Jake

YES! Great question! I love the look of my 19" wheels from the side profile, but ever since I got the car I have thought the wheels would look SOO much better if they were wider! Let me know what information you find out on this topic. Price, where to take them, what width is ideal, everything! Thanks!

Chime in anyone!

Just need to send weldcraft a pair of wheels and tell them how wide you want them and they can do it.

I think weldcraft did the wheels for Ford a few years back when they built that Ranger with the 5.4 supercharged Lightning drivetrain in it. Think they had to narrow the OEM Lightning wheels for that one.

Try this shop,
Eric Vaughn Machine
Monrovia, CA 91016
phone: (626) 358-6413
http://www.ericvaughnmachine.com/
Not the fanciest website but the work speaks for it self.

He uses a brand new wheel blank only 1 weld seam instead on adding a band in the middle with two seam's, also can widen any wheel to the 1/1000 of an inch. Price is very competitive he's done a lot of great work.

If you are thinking of doing this give the shop a chance, their turn around time is usually about 2 weeks.
