Ha ha, I see now. Getting wide 16" rims is almost impossible from what I hear.

Hope you get it sorted.

Yeh mate it's proving tricky.

Bought 16 inch go wheels, took them to be banded and have the centres moved, they couldn't grind the welds, tried 16 inch sellers there too narrow and can't get good offset.

15 inch isn't a problem as I could use my wheels, but it wouldn't be that easy would it lol

If you get no joy Richard may always be an option, amazing the stuff he can get a hold of or make / modify.
