I have a set of FM5 that are 17x9.5 with 37mm offset. Is it possible to make them 11" wide and fit correctly without changing center section and have a 3" outer barrel ???

Well, the wheel center most likely won't have to be changed, but one or both of the rim halves probably will.

Both the lip and barrel will need to be changed. The wheel currently has a 2.5" lip and the new lip will need to be 3" . My concern is that .5 of an inch will make the lip stick too far out . Especially being that car is lowered 2"

TORK?

Fikse 17x9.5 wheels for fbody are +38mm offset. They use 7" inner barrel and 2.5" outer barrel.

Fikse 17x11 wheels for fbody are +44mm offset. They use 8" inner barrel and 3" outer barrel.

So basically if you go to a 3" outer you should be fine and it will "stick out" as much and have as much lip as any 17x11 you order directly from them. If you want this just for appearance then getting 3" outers only is the way to go and live with your 17x10 wheels. If you need them to be 17x11, you'll also need two 8" inner barrels.

If this is true why does Fikse have different part #'s for the centers on the front and for the back ?

Hmm, I'm not sure. When I ordered new 17x9.5/11 FM10 from Fikse, my invoice has same part numbers for the centers. This is copied directly from my invoice from 2011.

107318 17 FM/10 F116A18-3018 (In Stock Centers)
200725 Outer rim 2.5 X 17 2
201770 Inner rim 7.0 X 17 2

107318 17 FM/10 F116A18-3018 (In Stock Centers)
200730 Outer rim 3.0 X 17 2
201780 Inner rim 8.0 X 17 2

300802 Finish TechniPolish clearcoated with mirror polished outer rims uncoated

Front: 9.5 X 17, +38mm Offset

Rear: 11.0 X 17, +44mm Offset

Not to ask a dumb question, but could you possibly be referencing the serial numbers instead of the part numbers?

Sorry to but into this thread but I wondered what the best way to polish the Fikse center caps is.

I noticed those are Profile series wheels. I believe Profile 5/10 have totally different centers and are best with big brakes. My assumption is that offsets are same as FM5/10 but barrels smaller than FM bc the depth of the Profile centers is different. Also it looks like centers have same part numbers.

But that's just what I think.

So if you have Profile series then go of those offsets in link. If FM series, then the specs I listed.
