Just curious, but why didn't you just buy a 16x10 rim?

Because I didn't want the wheel to stick out and look stupid. I couldn't find a 16"x10" wheel that had the backspacing that I wanted. I could have had a custom wheel made but this way cost less for me. Hopefully that makes sense.

Did you happen to find out how much it costs to widen your wheels?

Nor track legal.

I am not going to go this route anymore but it is good to know that it is not track legal. Thanks for the information.

UPDATE

I recieved my FLT Level 5 4L60E Transmission earlier this week and it is being installed today. I will recieve my wheels early next week so I will have pictures available when I get the Hoosier slicks mounted on the wheels. I will then go back to the track to fulfill my quest to reach the 11's. Later.
