Widening classis car wheels?
Discussion
Hi,has anyone had any experience of widening wheels on their classic car?If so were they pleased with the work they had done,who did it and was the price reasonable?Have been thinking about this for months and I really do want some wider rubber on the car,I know skinny wheels/tyres were original spec but I just love the wider rims.The car has Dunlop pressed steel rims with 3 eared spinners very much like MGA,I think they are 5" at present was going for 6".Should have bought a Yank years ago!

Years ago, may be 20, I got some VW beetle wheels fitted with wider rims and the offset changed. Motor Wheels Services did the job and are still in business. Not cheap, but a high quality job.
The PCD was the reason I got it done, there are no aftermarket suppliers who supply the correct one from stock (car was a Morgan). Quite a few alloys can be supplied to fit as a bespoke job of course.
PCD = pitch circle diameter

Any good engineering shop will be able to do it, had a pair of wheels narrowed once(to wide to clear the strut on an Anglia) got it done in a local engineering shop(but i'm in Kilmarnock so no use recommending them) Wasn't dear for me as i knew the owner but i was happy with the job, didn't even need to fit inner tubes
