Can a 1991 9 inch wheel be narrowed?Id like to look into having a set narrowed down to 17-7 and 17-8.I know a cast wheel can be sliced and welded back together but is there the right circumference in the barrel of this wheel that it can be cut,narrowed and welded back together?Im looking at 5-1/8 back spacing on the 17-7 and 5-5/8 back spacing on the 17-8.Thanks.
