Default custom wheels?

does anybody know of a good place that make custom wheels? basically i am looking for 20x9 for the front and 20x12 for the back. i was trying to find if any branded companies like roush/steeds/etc make anything like that, but they don't. the only set close i was able to find is made by steeda and it is 20x9 and 20x11. i am planning on running 335 tire in the back and i don't think it will fit 20x11 wheel? according to the tirerack 335/30-20 will require a wheel that is 11.5-12.5 wide (( any suggestions on a reliable shop that can do the work or may be somebody knows a company that actually make such a set that will fit an 05 mustang? thanks in advance!

the only kinds of places i could think of that could do that would be a custom fabrication shop (i don't know of any, though) but i'd imagine a wheel that size would be extremely expensive to make

You need to go to a company that makes true 3pc. forged wheels and they can make anything for you.

Ill think of more and let you know.

Or you can get a nice set you like and have them widened out by http://www.weldcraftwheels.com/index.html

I beleave 11" is as wide as you can go. I have not seen a 335x30 20 under an S197 but I did just this weekend see a set of 315x35 20's and they maxed out the wheel weld and looked to be almost rubbing so I think a 335 would rub.

Bassett will make custom sizes I believe. You could also look at having the wheel of your choice widened by a shop that specializes in that type of work, there are plenty online.

I have to assume if he is going that wide, he knows what he is doing and has some susp. and body mods in mind. Im sure it will look hot but with all good things comes a better price tag .

Here is on that was done but with 19's and ashot from the rear showing diff and the huge 19x12" iForged wheels. Rear suspension uses rod end control arms and panhard bar, moved in to clear the tires (Michelin Pilot Sport Tires, 275/35ZR19 front, 345/30ZR19 rear).

Since he did not say he was planing on mod his susp to handle a wheel over 11" I gave him what I know will fit on a stock set up. But I can tell you one thing Joe, the car I saw with the 315's was also running 275's up front and when I first saw the car I thought he was running 22" wheels because they were so huge it was hard to beleave he was running 20's until I talked to him about it and checked it for myself. But man oh man there was NO room for error at that size front and rear they were maxed out. You could not place your pinky finger between the tire and the wheel weld front or rear! I don't think I could of even got a pen between it either!
