Help me LOWER! Machining offset up?

[SeanDub]

Roll your fenders...?

totally doable, reputable machine shop might not do it if you tell them its a wheel for liability reasons, the machine shop we use will only do it if you never mention mounting it on a car or it being a wheel.

get a machine shop that has a good reputation to tell you how much they can machine off. some wheels allow for quite a lot to be shaved off the inner mounting pad, and some are not worth doing as they will only allow for a mm or two. are those the three or one piece wheel?

yeah, its definitely possible to machine down the hubs to raise the offset a bit

I want to take my perches out in back again but to do that I'll have to stretch more.. and that's the problem. I don't want to stretch more. The fronts are 205/45s on 17x8.5s and rears are 235/40s on 17x10s. I drive the car pretty spiritedly so I don't want to lose anymore grip patch on the front or back.

When the perches are out, I rub, but only on one side, since my passenger side wheels are just a few millimeters farther out than the drivers side wheels.

My question is, have any of you heard of machining down the mounting surface of a wheel to raise the offset by just a millimeter or two? But also, am I only not rubbing the drivers side because the passenger side is stopping the body from dipping lower before it touches? If that's the case then I'll only be rubbing more on both sides.

This is more of a brainstorm sesh than an outright question.. I'm just not happy with my stance in back right now.

Anyways here is how it sits now.

Thanks!
