Default OZ Wheels

When I bought my 86' it had a set of OZ wheels. I want to run 315s on the rear but the rims are 17 x 9.5 at all four corners. I would like to keep these wheels. Is there any vendor out there that would be able to widen two wheels to 17 x 11 ?

Thanks

I have never even heard of someone widening aluminum wheels.
Steel wheels any good welder can do.

It can be done as long you are willing to pay. Looks for it in google or talk to a welder that is into precision welding. I know it can be done because I know a 4X4 guy that did the opposite. He had a set of wheels that he loved but they were too wide. He opened his wallet and it was done and I could not tell.
