Widening Wheels thread

Content: Discussion of methods and shops for doing such. Pictures of re-barreled wheels or modified wheels to make them wider.

I often see a thread pop up with someone asking about widening or re-barreling their rims... It goes on for a bit. Then falls off only to be asked again shortly. With the approval of admin I'm making this unofficial rim widening thread, lol

As stated. This thread is mean't to provide a list compiled of companies who will widen or narrow (if that's your thing) your rims. Via either re-barrel or cut and weld.

Pics are only to be of rims that have been widened. Or pics of your rims that you wish to have widened.


CCW - Complete Custom Wheels does NOT provide lips for any type of rim other than CCW rims.

Kodiak - No longer offers their re-barreling service. At last time I e-mailed them anyway.

If anyone knows any company that has lips for a reverse mount 17'' rim with a 40 bolt hole pattern. Post it up! lol

ive always kinda liked the Z3 wheels, but these look pretty cool.



i see honda dudes from socal not only widening their M7s but making them larger in diameter using these spacer things to go between the face and barrel. Some pretty interesting stuff.

Savini Forged Wheels, in Anaheim. SAVINI FORGED WHEELS

They don't do 3pc wheels in anything smaller than 19", although they do make 18" concave forged monoblocks. If anyone's interested I still do outside sales for them.

I use Tein Monoflex dampers with Swift springs in my FD, they're surprisingly good. Definitely better than any coilovers I've used or driven in S-chassis cars.

my question is, it is safe?
honda guys just put the wheels on and go to shows or trailer queens.
they don't drive it on the street cuz the car will get stolen.
s-chasis guys drive more aggressive.
then again this is zilvia, more and more poser growning daily.

The rear wheels were originally 18x9.5 and were widened an extra 2" by Tim Williams @ wheel works in Burlington NJ. Tim has been in business for over 20 years and is the best at what he does. he has widened wheels for tons of supras, Ferrari's, and drag cars. when the wheels/tires were mounted and balanced they balanced PERFECTLY. the guy at the tire shop was very impressed.

Just to nit-pick a little bit, I hate when it is called re-barreling and people get new lips. Technically it is all a barrel but I prefer to call the outside portion a lip and the inside portion a barrel.


I originally purchased my BBS RSs in 17X7 and 17X8 +45/+50. With a little math I discovered I could add a 3.5" lip and get 17X10 and 17X11 +7/+12.

I ordered my lips from a guy in Germany, he has an ebay business called Racing Team Hoffman. Just type in 'BBS RS lips' in ebay search and you'll find it.

These are the original pictures from when I redid my first set of RSs. I will take more pictures when I do my new ones.

You can see the stock 1/2 inch lip compared to the 3.5" one (the 3.5" one is sitting on the bolts so it is sticking out a little higher then it should).






Then I took all of the bolts off, heated the wheel sup in the oven, and kicked them apart in my yard. The lips look MUCH better with the old lips off.






All powder coated and put back together.




Before I could seal them up I had to scrape all of the old sealant off, I recommend using a 3M Roloc Bristle Disk on a right angle die grinder:




Once I got the wheels cleaned and bolted back together I sealed it up with some GE Aluminum and Metal Silicone sealant. In a bottle like this:

looks great dude..good job..
on your post, i somewhat agree,
re barreling-re-lipping.and just switching lips should be 3 different things.
re-lipping sounds more like cutting and welding in a new lip. and changing lips is what you did.
I called up Eric, (thanks to the guy who posted before with his info)
I had the front wheels repaired but the rear Weds Kranze rapiers, are causing me some serious drama, (LAX wheel repair) straightened one lip out and relipped the other so now one is shorter than the other..WTF?? and the one that was straightened out is all crinkly??wtf again..
so i gave them a cease and desist and i told him i was gonna take therear wheels away and just take them to ERic's shop and he said he has a new 6.5" lip he could just cut and wled in. I am hoping to have an effective 7-8 inch lip when he is done.
