Narrowing Stock Wheels - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

JCal · 07-31-2011, 06:58 PM

I need some skinnies for the front and was kicking around the idea of having a pair of stock Mach wheels narrowed. Not sure if anyone has done this, how skinny you could go, and how much$$? Figured this might be a sweet looking set up especially since the AFS 10.5s are back out there. What do you think?

My buddy just looked into it having his 18s narrowed to 6" and it was $250 a wheel.

Ive been thinking about doing the same thing.

17x4.5-5 on front with a 17x10 rear.

It would be a good clean look.

Any idea how much weight would be saved by doing this?

not really much..corey did a weight compare and it was only 1.2 pds redux...not really worth it if your only looking for weight loss.

That's what i plan to do, i actually e-mailed Jame's and he said maybe a 5 inch rim and 225 per rim.I think with my deep dish rear's and the narrowed front's it will look subtle and be a good compromise between big and little's and keep a somewhat stock look.
