Hi sonny

It is really quite easy.

First you have to make sure your guards are rolled/pumped/extended. Either by using metal work or buying say the N2 arches from japan.

Then you just get wider wheels with a aggressive offset.

Try playing with this tool, put in the original specs of your rims and then say go up a few inches in width or decrease the offset you can see that it extends out alot more.
