I have been told that the Wheel Emporium is great at fixing dented wheels. Do they widen them too? How wide can I go in the back of a 94 w/o the quad shocks and mini tub. Thanks to people with info. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

So if I have them widened to 12" I'll be safe as far as clearance? Funny....my rims are Saleens too. How much did Stockton Wheel charge? Thanks for the info everyone

I am not an expert, but I believe you will only be able to fit an 11" wheel under your car w/o mini tubs. You need 7" backspace for this combo, so you're likely going to have to run a spacer (since the added width will be on the inside of the wheel). I am not certain, but you may have to remove the quad shocks too, but I don't think this is a problem if you have a good set of control arms.
I am not sure about other places, but Weldcraft over in Michigan has a good reputation for widening wheels. Good luck,
Matt

Thanks for all the leads and info. As soon as I get my coil overs for the rear. I'll be contacting JohnB for the install of the MM TA and PHB.
