    Hello,

    I need to have some 17 x 10 or 11 inch OEM style steel wheels made.
    The largest I can find is 17x9. Anybody got any suggestions?


    Thanks.

    I'm not sure you can get that wide in a 17". I think 15" goes to 10" from what I saw on summit racing. I'm curious to know where if in fact you find them.

    Thanks for the replies.
    I'll call Wheelsmith to see what they have available.

    I've looked everywhere and can't find 17" hoops wider than 9 inches.
    Tons of stuff available in aluminum, but I don't want that. 17 inch wheels in steel will be pretty heavy, but this project ain't light by any standard.

    Looks like I may have to make them or have something custom made.

    seems that you can atleast go to a 17x15 with the 9" hoops...:D so 11's shouldn't be hard to make...

    Wheelsmith can build them out of aluminum 17 x 9.5 and 17 x 11
