Only the rear hoop can be widened, not the front. It typically runs $200 per rim unless you supply your own donor rims for them to get the extra material from. Then I think the price is around $150, but don't qoute me on that.
Call this place:

You will need to send them to their Dallas location.
You could probably go 10.5 or 11". Also keep in mind you will need to space out the rims by using a spacer/adapter.

It will be up to you to make sure everything fits.

This is how it is usually done:
I've never seen anyone cut out the center and use a new hoop. That is very cool.

theyre not spacers! lol..
theyre "wheel adapters", they bolt on to the factory studs and have their own studs that the wheel bolts on to. i've been running them for a long time with ~400rwhp and no incidents what so ever.
i had a few threads a year or two ago on this, lots of info and pics

yea, didnt mean to bring it "from the dead" didnt realize what thread i was posting in until i had already posted.
but sure, it does "space" the wheel out. but when people say 'spacer' most think of a piece of metal placed over the studs on the axle...which isnt always the best idea for strength, etc
