I can only find them in 8" widths. It seems you have to get up to 22" dia to get 10.

Re: Do any of the Iroc replica 18" wheels come in 10" width?
There used to be a few companies making them, in fact I think American Racing used to make them, and I DO believe at least the AR wheels where available in larger widths. Don't quote me on that though. Now, I'm pretty sure it's probably just one place overseas making them, and I've never seen 'em wider than 8".
Lots of people have widened them though. At their low cost, even paying a bit more to widen, they're still affordable.

Re: Do any of the Iroc replica 18" wheels come in 10" width?
For the past few years I have not seen any IROC replica under 22" in anything wider than 8". Seems really odd that you can buy any style Mustang or Corvette wheel you want in almost any width but when it comes to the IROC wheels (a hugely popular wheel as evidenced by the amount of S-10, El Camino, Camaro that use them!) it is crickets from the aftermarket world. It would be super easy for one of the replica companies to make one.

Re: Do any of the Iroc replica 18" wheels come in 10" width?
22" is a full size SUV/Pickup size and 8" would not work - so they are wider.
The wheels are typically 8" so they fit every GM car under the sun from the 60's to the 2000's.
Why would an aftermarket company want to compete with a design that is probably running in a China foundry 24/7?

Yes, 22 is a suv/truck wheel or a car that wants dubs. I never advised someone go with that I merely mentioned that I hadn't seen one wider than 8" in a rim diameter of less than 22"

Re: Do any of the Iroc replica 18" wheels come in 10" width?
Bringing this thread back not sure if this helps not being 10” but iirc some manufacturers made 9” rims I believe in 18s and eBay sellers used to have 20x9. At one point I had to find a replacement for my 20x9 years ago and had to look on s10 sites for a used set which at the time I couldn’t find anything bigger than 8”. So may find used sets in 9” if they did if you never attain a 10” wheel.
edit: just did a quick search 18x8 seems to be the final verdict even previous years sorry to waste space on thread. What I was recalling is people widening their own wheels
