Can you change the offset of a modular wheel and retain the lip?

Can you change the offset of a modular wheel and retain the lip?
Is there a way to go from say an ET11 to ET40 and keep the deep lip on a 2 or 3 piece wheel?
Is it feasable to machine the mounting surface?
Thanks

Thank you Viken!
Here's another question: is a 16x9 ET60 with a 20mm spacer, the same as a 16x9 ET40? Is it effectively the same and could I use it to compare?
That's what I'm running (16x9ET60 w/ 20mm spacer) and in order to figure out what wheels I can fit, I'm inputing 9" ET40 into this offset calculator:

Is my thinking and comparison inaccurate? I really appreciate the input!

Yeah, some of these 3-piece wheels have different centers with different offsets. My BBS 17x10.5" 25mm-offset uses a different center than the rear 17x11.5"
