[Roadsters] Wider Wheels/Tires

[BARTERDUDE at aol.com]

A couple years back, I took my stock 14" rims, had them separated and the  
inside brass coated and outside chromed and then had them rewelded back with  
about an additional 1/2" inset and they looked and handled great.  Had  stock 
baby moon hubcaps to finish off the look.

Just a  word of caution: Unless you've flared your fenders, particularly in
the  back, tires that are much wider than stock can produce sudden and  loud
noises when cornering and on less than smooth roads. It was merely  annoying
to me but kind of scared the heck out of my wife (which could be  really
loud...both the tires and my wife); making sunny drives not as fun  as they
could/should be. Trading out my wife wasn't an option so I traded  out the
tires and wheels instead.

Hope this  helps,
Greg
