Default Wheel widening?

Hey all. My Privat Fahrens are only 18x8 all the way around. I want the rears widened to an 18x10 or 18x11 so i can run some 300 series rubber. Can i get away with a 315 on a 10" wide rim? Also anyone now the cost of widening 2 rims and who does it? Gracias

Nevermind. I found my answer using the search. Its amazing, the thing actually works and i found what iwas looking for! I figured about $200 a wheel. I only want the rears widened. I would like 3" if possible to make them an 18X11. Now i still have a few questions...

Will this change my offset not making my rims able to fit anymore?
Will i need to use spacers or anything?
Whats a good place that does a good job and can widen 3"s?

Thank you

it will change your offset, most likely you will have to use a spacer and a hammer. 3 inches is a bit much but can be done there is a place in michigan and dallas texas that does them. don't have a number but do a little more searching and there are there.
