The outer rim shells only come so wide, it may be that you have to go a half inch in and 2 1/2 inch out, or 1 inch in and 2 inch out. Anyway, I am writing Forgeline now. I will let you know what I find out

Thanks Frank I was getting ready to contact you.

OK Vinnie, Here is the deal. I thought you already had 3" outer lips, and you do. The widest 18" outer rim shell is a 5", so you will have to run a 5" outer (exteend the outer 2") and change your 6" inner to a 7" inner (adding 1" to the inner making the overall wheel width 12") Which means IN THEROY, the rear needs to be narrowed 2" per side. I will talk to Jake about it before you get started. But I suggest you send the wheels to Foregeline, get them done. I have inner and outer shells reserved for you, it will take about 7 to 10 days total turn around from the time you ship them. Then get the tires / wheels mocked in the wheels wells and measure between the wheel hubs for the exact rear width.

If you need to call me
