I can fill in a little history on those wheels. I don't know who widened them, but I owned a set that were wider than those. I bought them off ebay from a guy in Indiana. He had my set and that set on ebay at the same time. IIRC he didn't widen them either and didn't know who did. I lucked into some 5 lug parts and sold mine to a World member, who in turn sold them not too long ago. I never had them on a car so I can't comment on any fit issues. I can say they were very well made! Mine were made from early Pedrinis for brakes without the hub centering ring.

Here are pics of the ones I had. They were really sweet, the last pic shows the welds on the backside.
