They can be widened but for the best fit the widening would have to occur on both the front and back of the wheel.

Most of the time, as with stock rims they are widened from the back.
Sso you would be adding 2" of backspacing to the rim or about 50mm of offset.
That won't fit without a spacer to even it back out in the wheel well.
I looked into getting my stock rims done it was about $250 per.
I think you can go to 10" no prob some b.f.h. and no spacer.
11" you'll need 5/8" or better spacer and new studs.
