    Cutting down rims?

    I have a set of ROH rims that the fronts are to wide. I really don't want to get rid of them if I don't have to. So I am wondering if there is anyone out there that can shorten them about an inch or so.

    Thanks,
    Scott

          I thought about that, I have two way I can go if I can't find someone to do it, one is sell them and buy new or trade someone for something I like. Or spacers, but I am not to sure of how they will be down the track or what rules they have about spacers or safety for running in the 10's.

            are you saying you can't find the spacers, or your having trouble finding somone to install them on your car?

              Thanks. I can get them and put them on, but not sure if I want to, if the track will let me running in the 10's with them and how safe they are going down the track. I would rather get the rims cut down and do it right.

                    Thanks, I will look into that, I am hoping to find something local because I am sure shipping will be spendy.

                      You won't find anyone local, Weldcraft has that market cornered. I doubt any safety inspector would say anything about spacers, I've ran 1/2" up front and 1.25" in the rear since day one and have never had an issue with inspectors

                        As long as you get a good set of spacers that are hub centric you will be fine.

                          You could get SN95 hubs, rotors, brakes etc from a 96 mustang. That would give you bigger brakes and move the wheels out about a 1/4 inch on each side.

                            I think the bottom of the coilover would move out the same distance, leaving him with the same problem, not to mention the need for different wheels going to 5 lug.

                              aren't they the 5 lug?
