Default Widen ssdsteel beadlocks?

Is it possible to widen ssd 1.9 steel trail beadlocks? I'd like to run them with reduced 2.2 tires for a fat tire setup.. Thanks for any help

Make a spacer for the wheel halves and a new outer ring out of PVC?

It would look really odd having a gap between the front and rear halves of the wheel. I don't see a way to widen them and have it look good

Yea... thinking a brass spacer between the halvesthat looks like a break disc, the front half drilled out for axle nut that locks down on spacer, a wider outer lock ring might work? I think I know a guy that will make the spacers/rotors. Maybe alum to reduce weight...
