I have 10" Torq-thrust D wheels on the back of the 65 Belvedere. I want to fill up the minitub with more tire and need a 12" wheel. American Racing does not make a 12"wheel. Does anyone widen Torq-thrust D wheels?
 
Widening wheels

Unfortunately you cannot go to Stockton Wheel anymore. I don`t have the info here at work, but a friend near Portland has mentioned a Willamette Wheel. He says they are a good bunch to deal with.
Edit ! Another site says Willamette`s phone # is disconnected. Sorry for bum info.
 
You can put some pretty big meat on the 10" wheels. I have 325x50-15s on my 10" Torq Thrusts and could probably go a bit wider.
 
I currently have 325/50/15 on the 10" rim. With the springs moved in and the minitubs, I think I can get more tire in there; something like 31x16.5-15, which requires a 12" rim.

That is good news about a bad situation. I almost did not mention them due to the sad circumstances about their closure. I guess he`d had enough.
