97 svt Snake Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hey guys, So I have some ideas running through my head. I have a 96 cobra with the stock rims. And I am thinking about keeping the stockish look. I am in love with the Rovos Durbans.But I am thinking about keeping the stocks and either sending the rears out or find a spare set and have the rears widened to accomodate a 305. And my other thought is how would it look with the stock rears having a lip. So is it possible for you guys to add a lip to them so I have an idea if they will look totally stupid or cool?? I can supply you with as many different angle pictures as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 So let me give you this information:Companies will only widen to the inside if you don't have an existing lip on the wheel. Weld craft charges 200/" you widen per wheel. So an 8" wheel pair is gonna be $800. To widen to a 10" wheel. Then you have to rock wheel spacers. But it would be sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

410sn95 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I ended paying 800 (included shipping) to widen a pair of two piece wheels from 8.0 to 11.0. Center cut out and welded to new barrel but original lip (needed to match fronts), custom offset. This was in 2010, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Psychorugby Posted March 25, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Interested in doing this to my Rovos... 1" wider all around, possibly more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97 svt Snake Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 @Det_Riot @tony. Thanks for info. And a lip on them even if I could will look stupid. Ill have to wait and hear what their quote is on widening them. Then ill update you guys on going cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Psychorugby Posted March 25, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 to put on the sn or the '13? They'd be for the SN. 18s just look kinda small on the 13 I think. If I go 1" wider, then that will give me 18x10 front, and 18x11.5 rear for the SN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I don't think they're going to be able to widen those wheels at the lip because they don't have a lip. They'll only be able to widen the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 stock sn95 cobra wheels with about a 3" lip in the rear would be nasty as faaak tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Psychorugby Posted March 25, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I wanted to run my stock tri-bars with a lip lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-Oh Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Just to clarify, you wouldn't be able to widen them at the lip. You would only be able to widen the barrel on those wheels. I'd be cool if someone designed the stock cobra wheels into a new, bigger diameter wheel. Wish I had access to Autodesk Inventor again. Lastly, I'm pretty sure i'm the only human on here that really likes tri-bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Psychorugby Posted March 25, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Lastly, I'm pretty sure i'm the only human on here that really likes tri-bars. No. I do too. If I could widen them to the appropriate widths, I would run them. I much prefer the stock-ish, sleeper look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97 svt Snake Posted March 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 I'm seriously considering on keeping these and get two more and send those out to be widened. Keep that sleeper look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SublimeRT Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I have some photoshopped and real pics of widened stock wheels somewhere. It's an awesome look for sure. I'll try to find the pics soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 getting back to what you originally asked for heres a quick chop i did of the rear widened....couldn't really use your pic but same car i think. also lowered it a tad as i seen your thread about suspensions. should set you about like this with a good drop.

97 svt Snake Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 @tony. That looks pretty sick actually. Im really digging it. I may just have to pull the trigger on 800+ price tag to have two chopped up and widened. I want to buy another set and keep my originals all original just so i have them. So if anyone knows someone with those that are mint for a good price let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
