Hey, are there any 15x8 6 stud steel/alloy wheels with an offset of around -50. Everything I have searched has them at around -22.
I found some pro comp wheels (pcw51-5883R2.5) with around -50 but I can only find them in America which would cost around $800 to get shipped here which is far too expensive.
Also what sort of cost would it be to get my current -22 wheels modified for a bigger offset.
I want a bit more stability off-road plus it looks a bit tougher

If you use steel wheels you can easily get the centres cut out and shifted, typically the centres get flipped to get a bigger offset, I had these ones flipped about 8 years ago @ $30 each to put them in a lathe and cut the welds flip the centres and weld them back in, the shop that did it has jigs set up to do it, it may not be legal where ever you are, my rims (15x8) came out at -68 offset and 34mm backspace, they drive fine on the highway and haven't ever given wheel bearing problems with the additional loading from the offset, there a few more pictures I posted in the "what did you do on your 70 series today" thread about a week ago, otherwise you may want to look at wheel spacers/adaptors to get the wider stance

Sweet, I'll have to give a few shops a call over the next week and see what there pricings are, I'd much rather do that than use wheel spacers.
 
Also known as "Reversed" or "Reverse Offset" wheels.
