u can only get wide if custom wheels.

because you need a crazy offset and also companies that make staggered wheels make em multipiece because easier to make.

if your buying wheels that come MULTIPIECE

volk/ssr/work/maya/hre/iforged/dpe/advan/ggames/gramlights/BBS/buddy club/racing hart/ RHpro/do luck/DTM kruez/enkei/ you get the point.

all depends on the offsets avail to how wide you can go.

just as a "hmmm"

10.5 +74
10" +80------>>>+68
9.5" +86----->>>+62
9" +92--->>>>+56
8.5" +98--->>>>+48

now noone makes 98's and shit im just giving you guidelines ull need to stick between.. and dont think ur gonna get away w/ a... 10" +40 and then shave it down 28mm.. not gon work.


what wheels are u looking for

also keep in mind tires are key.. pulled on=wider=better square sidewalls are gon limit you

To basically answer your question.. x10.5 is about as wide as you can get if you have the correct offsets.
