I plan on having me stock wheels widened, and wanted some opinions on just how wide I should go. The tires I'm going to end up getting are Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s 315/35/17R. I already have 1" wheel spacers, and am contemplating between widening my wheels to either 10.5" or 11", but don't know what would be best. Just wanted to see if anyone had any opinion on which of the two would be best.
question about wheel widening
- Thread starter 9103stang
- Start date
10.5"
You know AFS makes 17x10.5" replicas that look just like the stockers?
If you've done your research you know these folks:

You'll likely need 3/8" spacers and ET lugnuts depending on what brand tire you run (not all 315's are created equal). You'll also want to take the upper-rear IRS carriage bolt and shave about 1/2 the height of the head off, or contact Max. Motorsports for a pair of buttonhead torx. to prevent tire rub issues.
The GY GSD3's run on the fat side; so you'll want to do the bolt, run spacers and also prob.roll your fender lips. Look around and see if you can borrow/buy an Eastwood fender roller.
