violetpop Silver Donating Members 436 Member For: 4y 11m 7d Posted 31/01/20 09:04 PM Author Share Posted 31/01/20 09:04 PM So I spoke to Barrel Brothers yesterday.Super helpful as expected based on the mcm clip. He said they didn't widen steel wheels 'yet' but were looking at getting into it. His take on it was that the way that people do it by welding in a band isn't the best way and they planned on essentially pulling apart the rim at the original welds and making the modification so it gets welded back in the original spot. Something along those lines... I asked him if he wanted some test rims for prototype but he laughed and politely declined. With that said, I think I will leave the rims as is and just look at getting the best tyres I can get with maybe a 225 and match the OD. Perhaps a little less traction might be better on the drive line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps its more popular with certain car groups like the JDM type in the mcm clip but really don't know. They were genuinely concerned about complying with the adr so that would also be a factor for them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
