Also, I don't need wider in the rear. The engine is bone stock. It's more of a show car

Yeah, the 50mm rear offset is a bit high so there is about an 1 inch gap between the tire and the fender. I'm gonna pick up a set of 15mm spacers and do a little fender roll and that should shift it over enough to give it a nicer, wider stance.

Too bad they can't pass as work meisters. The 5 spokes on the work meisters sit inside the inner lip. The D2s are actually replicas of the SSR Professors, but even so, it is very easy to spot the real deal Professors

Can you really widen wheels? Would that involve cutting the wheel in half and welding a spacer in between the two halves?

I bought some 20mm spacers off of Ebay for $79 shipped:
Before:
After:
The Wheels in the rear have +50mm offset. With the 20mm spacers, the wheels are equivalent to +30mm offset. I think a 25mm spacer would work if I rolled the rear fenders a bit.
