Buy bent stays, or buy serious equipment (diacro or similar) theres not really an easy way to do it.

Do they sell bent stays for fat bike size tyres or does increasing the hub width get them around the tyre?

You'll normally need some sort of yoke, fat standard bb, wide axle, in various combinations depending on fatness. PMW is your friend here.

And as @Emyr said you still need more bending on the stays to get around a 4/5 inch tyre. Do tube manufacturers produce fat bike ready stays or do they all require custom bending?
