Widening rims?

I have a set of 16x8 mercedes bottlecaps in my garage and I was wondering if it was possible to widen those rims?

I have seen tuners do it to steelies and simple rims like that but it would be cool to make the bottlecaps into a staggered set, maybe like 8.5 up front or stock 8 and some 9 or 10's in the back with spacers and some fender work obviously.

Just let me know if it is possible or not so I can put this dream to rest or act on it.

Thanks!
