Not really... steel wheels are different, in that they can be cut and repaired. One-piece alloys don't really work that way.

I wouldn't trust a modified sportmax wheel. They work for what they are, but they don't seem like they'd hold up to anything that severe, like a barrel modification or fill/drill.

Yellow Sub where did you order those. I am thinking about going with widened steelies. Nothing as aggressive as what you have but something in a 15x8

just a reminder, these wheels will not clear the front caliper without additional mod. Like james did, he added 15mm spacer to clear the caliper. Just letting you know so it won't mess up your desired offset.

I had the same problem before, and at first I had a 15mm spacer, but it pushed out the wheel too much. I ended up grinding the caliper hanger and manage to just put 5 mm h&r spacer.

im horrible to ask for wheel sizes. 1 i've been flared for about 3 yearts now and only am familiar with those sizes and 2. as you can tell i push fitment pretty far. lol but do remember that there is a difference between the front and back sizes. i was running x9 wide with a 20 offset for the rear an that was pretty flush. so with an 8in wide that would be about a +8 offset which is what you just said so that would work in my book haha

fitment problem is only in the front(caliper), rears will be fine.
granting they can make you +10, and you will need 15mm spacer, you will end up with -5 offset in the end(will push out 15mm more).

if you want to stay with +10, then you have to order +25 original offset on the wheel, then with the added 15mm spacer, you will end up +10.

btw, ask other people for the best offset you want. factor your tire size and suspension drop too on the equation.
