  • 16" to 17" conversion

    I'm wondering if its possible to convert 16x8 et11 rs211s to a 17" wheel like some folks do with the rs198. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    sure. 198 faces are similar diameter as compared to 212 faces. Just need to get your hands on the wheel halves...

    Edit. Was supposed to say 211.

      I think you have chosen your words incrorrectly. The 198 and 212 are different, both are 17x8,5 but the 198 uses double stepped lips to get from the small center faces to 17's.

        And keep in mind, I said 211 not 212.

          yup, you need the 198 to get to a 17inch spec. the 212 will do you no good.
