expansion of steel wheels, recommendations?

someone owns a HHR, which has expanded steel wheels 8-9" ?

I have an idea to extend the 16 inch steel wheels to 8 inch

sorry, but again Google translator.

Some custom shops will cut the centre disc out of the HHR rim and weld it into a wider 8 inch rim of the same diameter . I used to do this for wider tires on my late model stock cars back in the day to get more traction on the clay tracks up here, but I don't think it's street legal to do it and I don't recommend it!

I tried to use tires 225/50 p16. Rear wheel well. But the front wheels touch the arches in the turns.
wide wheels can create a problem
Moreover, the snow driving difficult.
