    Anyone commit sacrilege and weld 16.5 inch rims to convert to 17 inch rims?

    I want to run 17 inch rims and I prefer steel. That will improve tire options while allowing me to run a standard 16.5 inch runflat insert. I figure welding a 1/4 inch rod all around might be the ticket, but I wanted to see if anyone else had done it?
