not easily, and not without affecting the strength, especially if forged.

I do recall seeing a site of a guy that got his stock Supra wheels widened 2 inches each for like $750 total, I think.

two ways:
1.BBS wheels will accept a same diameter "spacer" that will widen them to inside or outside by whatever amount you want.
2. Search for Marsh Racing Technologies. They once sold wheels that
could be widened in about the same manner.-Bob
