      Max backspacing on 18 x 10's

      Anyone know of a manufacturer that sells 3" backspacing wheels? I know American racing will, but anyone know of others? Thanks!

      Any of the 3 piece or custom manufacturers should be able to do it: Fikse, HRE, Kinesis, CCW, ROH, Kodiak, Budnik, Billet Specialties, Colorado Customs, etc.

      Budnik and billet specialties will not do anything less than 4.5! Most others will but you will have to pay extra i'm sure. I have a set of Dpengineering RO5s that are 20x10 w/4in bs

      Thanks for the heads up, Travis; I was unaware of that.

      due to the design of the hoop they can only go 4.5, that is the only reason....

      I may be totally off the mark here as my wheel fabrication knowledge is minimal at best, but what if they were to weld two hoops together, like when making an 18x12. Instead of 18x12, it would be an 18x10, with more room for b/s?

      yes you could.....Most manufacturers charge and extra $300 per wheel to cut and reweld hoops!

      Yeah, prices start getting insane when you get into that. Might as well just step up to a 3 piece at that point, unless a billet wheel is the desired look.
