Widening and Narrowing: Weldcraft Wheels is your source for expert repairs and fabrication on your custom or factory wheels. We specialize in wheel modification(aluminum or steel). We widen wheels and narrow wheels. We also move your centers when possible. When widening we use a band of material of the width requested. So no second donor wheel is required. On aluminum wheels we V-groove and hand tig each seam for maximum penetration. We can help you achieve that custom look or get the most from your power level by allowing you to run larger tires for better traction and drag strip or road course performance. Perhaps you would like to maintain a "sleeper" look on your muscle car by running stock appearing wheels but want the benefit of a wider tire? We can alter your stock style wheels to allow much wider rubber without sacrificing the stock appearance of your factory wheels. Running wider tires on too narrow of a rim results in lost contact patch and improper wear. Our widening process will eliminate this concern completely. |

Widening Most wheels are widened to the inside of the vehicle. This will increase your backspace by the same amount, so be sure about your clearance. We use your wheels so no donor wheel is needed. We add in increments of 1/2 inch. |

Narrowing Sometimes smaller is better....front runners. We can narrow steel or aluminum as much as they physically allow. The size of the barrel and the amount of taper will limit this. You can email a picture of your wheel (minus the tire) so we can determine how much can be removed. Please include wheels in the subject line. |

| Aluminum Wheels — Are v-grooved and hand tig welded....all seams...both sides. Can be widened to the front as well (deep dish look) however this will involve finishing down the weld beads and refinishing your wheels. In other words, this will cost more! | ![]() |
|||||
| Steel Wheels — Are stick welded and sanded. Can be widened to the front or back and centers can be moved. | ![]() |
