After a little math and some $$$$ I finally got these mounted up last night. Had to use 1" spacers in the rear and 5mm in the front because of the S4 calipers. Also had to roll the front and rear.
Custom widened Keskin KT2's 18X11 and 18X9.5

That shark is getting some real attention this year.
Any challenges, caveates or other learnings to share on the wheel widening process? Has to be a precision deal, doesn't it?

The wheel widening went very smooth and the wheels actually balanced out with very little weight. It wasn't cheap at almost $200 per wheel but weld craft wheels did an amazing job and the precision is top notch. I absolutely had to have these wheels in a 18X11 to try and closely maintain my old setup, so it was my only option. It's perfect for anyone who wants to widen a stock pair of wheels as well. I think a pair of 11" wide phone dials would be different.![burnout](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/burnout.gif)

Sweet! There aren't any more 'right' wheels for your car than those. That 3.6 Cup look is what I was after when I got the RH RAL's that are on my GT.
Hope to see your Shark w/it's new shoes at Frenzy!

You don't want to use those skinny spacers on the front. I assure you, bad things will happen to your spindles. Does the wheel actually make contact with the caliper when there is no spacer?
