I've heard of either removing the faces and installing them into new barrels and lips using longer bolts, thus making them a 3-piece wheel.
Have also heard it's possible to cut the lip outboard of the face bolt flange on a lathe, and weld on a new wider lip, but that it's difficult, time consuming, and not worth the effort vs. going three piece.

These are very similar to LMGT's, the easiest way to widen them is a new lip and barrel, making them a 3pc wheel. It's not cheap, but is is easy and the proper way to widen them.
