Re: Wider tires vs coil overs (John Shiels)

i'm running stock wheels with 275/40/17 BFG g force KD's. I'm thinking of putting 17"x11" wheels with 36mm offset on the rear with 315/40/17 g force tires and leaving the front as is.

Wheel widening

Has anyone considered or have had their wheels widened? I have heard of this being done. Is it safe and also is it cost effective?
