Obviously, you will have some fitment problems. And, last time I checked the price was about $ 200 a wheel to get them widen professionally. Whatever you do, do your calculations right, this way you won't have surprises. But, if there is a will, there is a way. Good luck & let us know.
Thanks for the information. What route did you go afterwards?

You're right about the price. I called a local wheel repair shop and they quoted me $200 per rim. I was actually hoping they would widen the outer rim to give a bit of lip. Might be easier since it's a cheap steelie instead of OEM alloys?
