Thanks in advance. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2013 Posts: 186 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2013 Posts: 186 | A quick way to do it would be to go to 16 inch wheels . 16 inch 8 hole wheels are very common.any auto wreckers will have them, common with all the big 3 manufactors.You might find some with a slightly smaller center hole, no problem,hog it out with a die grinder.Check with wheel companies and I'm sure you'll find 17 inch 1 piece wheels that will work. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2021 Posts: 6,771 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2021 Posts: 6,771 | Wheelsmith will make any size wheel you want and likely in a similar style as the original.
I had them make up 16" smoothies for me with the original style hubcaps.
