Default Changing wheel width on 3-piece wheel?

I currently have a set of IMPUL RS Wheels 8.5J-19+22 and 9.5J-19+30 rear, but now I need wider wheels since I have no traction with my new TT. Since these are 3-piece wheels, is it possible to change just the barrel part of the wheels to get a wider wheel? If so, will only IMPUL ones fit or is there some sorta of standard among all the different brands?

Maybe contact the makers of your brand of wheels and see what they have to say? *shrugs* I dont see why not, although i would think going too much wider might be a bad idea, center section may be only engineered for a specific wheel width.

Swap the rear wheels to the front and order new rear wheels (or 10.5+ barrels for the front centers).
