Lindsey Racing is doing it with the early 16x6 Fuchs alloys for the 911 crowd. You could give them a call.

Very high risk/liability for the person doing the work. A safety concern for the driver.
A wheel coming apart at 160 mph is an "issue" that i would not want to deal with.
BUT, if you have it done, there was a supplier in Stockton Ca that advertised in autoweek some years ago that specializd in wheel widening.

Marc, I did talk to Stockton wheels and they referred me to Harvey Weidman’s Wheels in California, I have also seen his ad in Excellence magazine. I agree with you, the safety has me thinking. I’ll let you know how it goes. I am dropping the wheels off at Wheels America in Dallas today. http://www.fixrim.com/

People are probably going to howl, but i've been running 245/45/16s on my 7" phone dials for well over a year. If there was a negative change in handling, i sure can't tell.
I have a couple 8" phonedials on the way for the rears, but the 7"s are going to stay up front still for the forseeable future.
