Message	For those involved in my post yesterday ripping on my selection of new thin wheels, I have an idea and need assistance. My new wheels are: Front: 18" x 7.5" Rear: 18" x 8.0" Lug pattern: 114.3 x 5 Offset: 28 See, I told you I checked that. Now to my question. The wheels are aluminum and I was told by some co-workers, that I can have them widened, if this is true, by how much before it may rub on the inner wheel well and such. Thanks Soy dio y soy el diablo
