    Rim Stretching?

    Has anyone heard of this? It's supposed to be a procedure to widen your rims a bit to fit wider tires. I can't see how this could possibly be safe though...you're stretching metal. But it sure would be nice.

    I don't think they actually stretch the metal, they cut the wheel in half and weld in a new section to widen it. There is company nearby called Stockton Wheel that has been doing it for years. You could probably find them on the web.
